What exactly are the criteria for getting=20 something in the kernel? People who want it, and someone willing to maintai= n=20 it are part of it, I guess... Good design? The Right Thing, The Right Way? Now I wouldn't say Andrew is 'nobody', and if he objects, that's something = for=20 sure. But he doesn't even object (do you?). I like swap prefetch, and it works for me. I can patch it in myself, so its= =20 not all that important to me. And its just a small thing. But many small=20 things...
