it's pretty common for people who work on u-boot to also work on the kernel. trying to balance merge windows of two major projects simultaneously is unnecessarily strenuous. > I doubt whatever we pick will ever be insync w/the kernel. the idea is to be out of sync ;). no, things wont always line up perfectly, but that doesnt mean we cant adjust when the kernel does change. -mike
