Here in the future, this was deemed a non-issue.
However this does highlight another problem.
End-users who take linux for use in embedded systems (especially)
tend to live in their own little world rarely contributing anything
back to upstream, popping up occasionally when months after decisions
have been made on things. Remind me again why we should care about
your out of tree binary only modules ?
You are right. I have not contributed anything to Linux. Except one
small patch to the MTD code. However, I don't think that is the point
here. I am perfectly willing to live with the way Linux is today. I am
telling you as a user that if Linux continues on the current path it
will become less and less attractive to Embedded Users.
Not everybody has to be a contributor. The reason Linux is popular is
because of its openness. Take that away and see where it goes.
