Might the recent discussion on the exporting of sys_open() and sys_read() be an example here? There would appear to be a consensus that people should not have used those functions, but they are now proving difficult to unexport. Perhaps the best use of the namespace stuff might be for *future* exports which are needed to help make the mainline kernel fully modular, but which are not meant to be part of a more widely-used API? jon - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
