Don't talk about > Pavel cutting code. He's just acking/nacking what Rafael sends him. I've done that in the past (USB, PCMCIA - screw the maintainers, redo it basically from scratch). But the thing is, I'm totally uninterested personally in the whole disk-snapshotting, so I'm not likely to do it there. But yes, I'm actually hoping that some new person will come in with a new idea. The current people seem to be too set in "their" corners, and I don't expect that to really change. Quite honestly, I don't foresee any of the current tree approaches really doing something new and obviously better, unless somebody new steps in. Linus
