Andrew Morton: "this was a mistake"

An update: Andrew Morton has jumped into the discussion, stating that he had not expected this particular result from the patch. The breaking of ndiswrapper, he says, was a "mistake." So things might just get reverted - for now, at least.

Andrew jumped into discussion because an LWN reader became aware of the controversy thanks to LWN and sent an e-mail to LKML and Alan Cox summarizing the thoughts expressed in your story and the comments posted by LWN readers.
In other words, LWN and you personally should be credited for restoring sanity in the kernel :)
Thanks!
Jon,
