I agree, as maintainer for the entire usb-serial kernel package, I would
not accept this change right now unless one of the following things
happens:
- Linus asks me to (or just does it.)
- a lawyer tells me to
- Keyspan asks to remove it
It's just too big of a architectural change for this to happen in a
stable kernel series.
When 2.5 happens, I will be glad to do this, as it will save kernel
memory for both this, and other drivers, and is the "right" thing to do
from a engineering standpoint.
thanks,
