One thing that amazed me in Linux from the start was his versability!

So, there isnt nothing that prevents a stable and more static API for a split driver model where is wise to do it, and the actual paradigma, at the same time in other parts, where its better.

I belive one thing is certain, there isnt a clear remedy for all deseases, and even with a large adoptance of a split model, the best argument stays with the "feature maintainer" and his experience and know-how.

I belive something has to change, because as i state above that 150Mb of 2.5.* is going to take near to 2.5 years(?) to get to a decent stable 2.6.0., then, if the flush of documentation happen truth and the main kernel source gets "every driver on the planet", how many years will take about 500 Mb(example) ?
