> Its just plain inefficient. I think part of this has to do with Intel's internal legal policies for public code release. It's time consuming and highly encourages the engineers to batch code releases so that they minimize the times they have to go through the legal department. It's pretty stupid and counter productive, and in this case here resulted in Intel's engineering process looking rather poor. This e1000 incident is one of the worst vendor driver maintainence bombs I've seen in my 10+ years of doing Linux kernel work. If they don't fix their process and policies for external code releases, this "massive code drop" problem will never go away. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
