What's needed...

Parent article: A summary of 2.6.15 API changes

The changes are significant to certain groups of developers and are (generally) necessary, LWN's tracking of them is good, programming by them is a nightmare.

At present, about the only way to really understand the kernel is to draw elder signs and summon Cthulhu. The next-best solution seems to be to buy one of the better books on the 2.6 kernel, then run through every single change documented by LWN, producing a set of updates/inserts, then finally produce a loose-leaf binder with complete documentation, which you can then update every time some new kernel patch comes along.

What would be really good is if someone has already done this. Anyone know if that's happened?
