* lack of features missing in 2.6.16 is already a big list (smp alternatives, niagara support, raid5 resize, 32 bit iptables on 64 bit kernel, rtc cleanup with faster boot, atapi turned on by default, huge alsa upgrade) for a full list see kernelnewbies wiki -> http://wiki.kernelnewbies.org/Linux_2_6_17
I've discussed the changes needed for Niagara support on sparc with Fabio, who maintains sparc kernels for Ubuntu. His opinion was that it's not very feasible to backport it to 2.6.16. Basically, if we decide to stick with 2.6.16, all the arch/sparc64 tree will have to be replaced by the one from 2.6.17, if we want to see Niagara support in etch.
