No way. Doing things from scatch is a really bad idea. See how far we came
with Linux 2.6 scsi vs 2.4 scsi without throwing everything away and break the
world. Please submit changes to fix _one_ thing at a time and fix all users.
Repeat until done or you don't care anymore.
I agree with you. Alas my wording was misunderstandable und obviously
carried a wrong tone.
I did not say "replace the core" in step 1. Also, the breakage which I
refer to in step 1 would have to be immediately corrected in step 2
(although not for the whole subsystem at once, to allow for a fast cycle
of validation of what happened in step 1). Furthermore I specifically
said that most steps may (let me add: and should) overlap.
