Since I am a kernel programmer, please let me explain. The 2.6 kernel
series has been going through a remarkably fast evolution since the
2.6.0 release in December 2003. This speed was only possible because
the internal kernel interfaces could be changed continuously to match
newer requirements.
Is there any hope to make kernel external driver API (must have stable
interfaces) for third party developers (like nvidia & vmware) - so
that their drivers will work well with *all* distros and *all* future
versions?
