That is your point of view. For others, 'Resizing' is something that is not needed and never used. But being in mainline is mandatory! -mm Kernels are full of experimental stuff, highly unstable and very buggy. Nothing you can really trust. So as long as something does not show up in the Linus' Kernel, it is not usable. And that does not cover the testing something gets in Linus' kernel, that is simply not there with -mm kernels. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
