The best way to do this stuff has already been outlined by Ingo himself, and as far as I know he's still the man leading the show. And no one objected to his strategy so far. There is just no rush. It doesn't have to be integrated ASAP, and actually not before a while, and then certainly not in a disturbing way. Lots of things have to be cleaned up in the patch, and even in the current stock kernel for that matter, and Ingo even agreed to that. So any discussion about merging of PREEMPT_RT into mainline is simply hand waving at this point. Let it evolve and resume this discussion when there is actually something being proposed for merging into mainline. Nicolas
