... which is not yet complete, meaning that that will reach only a
small handful of people. if you want to reach more people, thus
increasing the probability of more people being in a position to help
use upstream kernels with minimal backporting, then bridging the gap
between the two would seem like a good idea, would you agree?
anyway - i´m done here. you guys are doing ok. i have had to take
other work - for the second time now - which places the project that i
started on a back-burner until we have sales or funding.
so please, feel free to do whatever you choose.
