Perhaps a simple change of the title and introduction would handle clearing this up. Instead of presenting it as a "What's new in Linux 3.0" article (which it is not, or it would be a lot shorter!), why not call it what it actually is: "A Retrospective of the Linux 2.6 era"? -- Calvin Walton <calvin.walton@...stin.ca> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
