Before I start asking what about XXX, is there a list of what major stuff
is already considered to be in? I don't see some things on your list,
perhaps you regard them as done.
> After feature freeze:
I really hope these do get in!
> o New kernel build system (kbuild 2.5) (Keith Owens)
I fear Keith might go SPC if this had to wait for 2.7
> o Add XFS (A journaling filesystem from SGI) (XFS team)
> o Asynchronous IO (aio) support (Ben LaHaise)
> o LVM (Logical Volume Manager) v2.0 (LVM team)
I thought these were all progressing nicely
> o Page table sharing (Daniel Phillips)
> o ext2/ext3 online resize support (Andreas Dilger)
Definitely want to stabilize these
> o UDF Write support for CD-R/RW (packet writing) (Jens Axboe, Peter Osterlund)
Hopefully this is close as well
> o Full compliance with IPv6 (Alexey Kuznetzov, Jun Murai, Yoshifuji Hideaki, USAGI team)
could ease in 2.6.x if not?
> o Add support for NFS v4 (NFS v4 team)
This really shouldn't wait for 2.8!
> o Remove the 2TB block device limit (Peter Chubb)
This would help db folks now, and who knows how big
a single drive will be before 2.7?
> o Overhaul PCMCIA support (David Woodhouse, David Hinds)
Sure would be nice if it worked on desktops as well as laptops
> o Add thrashing control (Rik van Riel)
I sure would like to see documentation improvements on this list! For 2.6
it would be beautiful is no features went into /proc/sys unless they went
into the Documentation directory as well.
