Quotes of the week

I just really _really_ wish we could have two fairly stable releases in a row. I think 2.6.22 has the potential to be a pretty good setup, and I'd really like to avoid having another 2.6.21 immediately afterwards.

Sysfs never tried to be an ABI/API in the usual sense, parts of it are just a nicer looking "kernel dump". :) You have to follow _very_ special rules to extract information here in a way that will not produce unexpected results between kernel releases, or even a second later on the same system.

In my opinion any hibernation framework that doesn't take the above requirements into account in any way will be a failure. Moreover, the existing frameworks fail to follow some of them too, so I consider all of these frameworks as a work in progress. For this reason, I will much more appreciate ideas allowing us to improve the existing frameworks in a more or less evolutionary way, then attempts to replace them all with something entirely new.
