Perhaps because I am extremely busy doing the Right Thing in other
projects? Or because one person, however gifted (and no, I'm not referring
to myself here), can't do every little job that happens to pop up?

You're free to contest it and/or offer alternatives. In fact, I'd be
delighted to receive a justified mental kick-in-the-ass from anyone. If
no-one has standing objections, I consider my theory accepted and I expect
an experimental implementation by the kernel developers to follow.

If anyone would like to take a look at my TODO, just ask and I'll put it
up and post a link to it. Perhaps it'll clarify things a bit. Then again,
maybe not.

Baai,

From the fool file:
I don't see why the way people have historically partitioned disks should
dictate which kernels we build and distribute by default in the future.
