Mainline kernel

Will they be trying to merge these improvements into the mainline kernel
and take improvements from it and merge it into this tree? If not I
could see the mainline kernel quickly diverging from this release...

I wasn't able to get to the tree via their webpage. Has anyone been able to access it yet?

it looks like its just 2.4.20 with MontaVista's patches applied.

having said that the diff to 2.4.20 is 58mb, but thats mostly because they
removed most of arch/ and added a few extra bits.

they have added other peoples patches like Robort Love's preempt kernel
patch, Ingo Molnar's (O)1 sched and some other 2.5 bits.

not all that excting.
