The full changelog since 2.6.21 also got uploaded, but quite frankly, I
wonder if anybody uses those things? I've been uploading them for non-git
users, but I have a suspicion that any people who want that kind of
detail have long since learnt to use git, or are following the commit
mailing lists or equivalent.

What the Rest Of The World could probably use is if some kind soul were to go
through and build a .21->.22 document that lists all the *userspace visible*
changes (new drivers, new filesystems/features, new/changed stuff in /sys and
/proc, new ioctls, new and changed Kconfig, etc).

Already available:
 http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_2_6_22

Credits for it go to Diego Calleja.

It's a Wiki, so if you miss anything there you can add it yourself.

It might make sense if Linus would give a link to the corresponding
changelog there in future release announcements.

lwn.net has a series on the API changes, they don't try to cover all the drivers, but they should cover all the things that a driver writer would need to worry about
