"We (Google) definitely want to get back in sync with mainline (as I've
mentioned earlier in this or a related thread), and we're planning on
snapping up our kernel trees to 2.6.32+ once we get past various
deadlines in the near future."<p>yep, LKML is they place they talk about it ;) -&#62;

In the end, we will see if their next attempt to kernel inclusion is sane and has good points to it.<p>Thanks for the interesting link, though! I guess i'll read up a bit on that. :)
