Search on Google for more deep news (there are huge flames about the issues, and big FAQs to cope with the flames), however it was removed because: a) no maintainer b) the code doesn't work well (it can cause deadlocks and it should have been reworked to avoid this) c) the policy of device naming shouldn't be in kernelspace but in userspace. So, starting from 2.6.13 (IIRC) it can't be enabled, and sooner or later the sources will be actually be removed from the kernel. -- Inform me of my mistakes, so I can keep imitating Homer Simpson's "Doh!".
