Thorsten, Axel,
In the hopes of furthering the discussion can we at least agree that the
current kmod scheme works, at least to some people's perception of what
that means. I hope, also, that we can agree that the current kmod
scheme does have limitations/shortcomings.
With that in mind, I think this (should) all boil down to the question:
which weighs more heavily in your mind, the pain/suffering(*) of involved in
1. Adopting/changing-to a new (kmdl) standard
2. living with the limitations/shortcomings that come with using kmod.
?
(*) Which brought to my mind one of my favorite movie quotes:
"Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something."
