Linus trovalds did NOT suggest this. Neither does he have his own team. there are a good amount of kernel developers who work with him that includes dave,arjan, alan cox, rick van riel etc who are also fedora developers. linus has merged an *optional* thing. he hasnt suggested one way or the other. neither is he always right nor is his suggestions always applicable to fedora. > > Personally, I think there are quite a few places > where Fedora has opted to "go its own way" > without as far as I can see any very good reason for this. > > Admittedly the same is true of other distributions. you will have to cover this specifically one by one. as far as configuration stuff stored in /proc, there are no advantages to doing this nor is this deviating from any standards whatsoever -- Regards, Rahul Sundaram
