The old "ramdisk=<ram_size>" has been changed to
"ramdisk_size=<ram_size>" to make it clearer.  The original
"ramdisk=<ram_size>" has been kept around for compatibility reasons,
but it may be removed in the future.

i just the other day submitted a patch to remove that backward
compatibility, and the m68k portion of it has already been acked by
geert uytterhoeven.

I couldn't find it.  Can you provide a pointer to it?

Could you mention it in feature-removal-schedule.txt? (People check that for warning of upcoming changes that impact existing code. They may not notice something elsewhere after they've got it working...)

The same objection applies to this as to the previous one. In that respect, an Ack from a maintainer of an almost unused architecture is meaningless (sorry, Geert.)

Peter, what are you objecting to, Rob's comment, Robert's comment,
Robert's patch, or my patch?


Robert's patch.
