Embedded Linux gets maintainers and a mailing list

A new mailing list, linux-embedded@vger.kernel.org has been created to discuss kernel issues that are embedded-specific. In addition, Paul Gortmaker and David Woodhouse have stepped up as the official kernel embedded maintainers. In that role, they will try to ensure that embedded concerns are kept firmly in mind as kernel features are added. Both of these ideas came more or less directly out of Andrew Morton's Embedded Linux Conference keynote and the questions afterward.

This is a very good development IMHO.  Hopefully use of the list will avoid the "drink from
the firehose" syndrome (common to LKML) for developers who are interested in interacting with
other kernel developers using Linux in embedded.

By the way, the list is now archived at:
