This e-mail probably doesn't affect 99% of you out there, but it's coming
into your inboxes anyways :-). How would people feel about moving the
22 watchdog drivers into their own subdirectory off of drivers/char/ in
both 2.4 and 2.5? (Well, 2.5 only has 18 at the moment, but I'm planning
on adding the 4 2.4-only drivers to 2.5 once updating 2.4 is done)

I've received a bunch of inquiries about breaking them into their own
subdirectory. At the moment there are 20 watchdog drivers in
drivers/char/ and 2 in drivers/sbus/char/ in 2.4, and 16 in drivers/char/
and 2 in drivers/sbus/char/ in 2.5. I think putting them all into one
place will make them easier to maintain, more standardized, and less
buggy.

Regards,
Rob Radez
