I noticed it the day it was created (The directory), the permissions are intresting meaning there is something in there. I hope its released soon, I want to move away from Mandrake 8.1, I have moved back to Red Hat 7.1 becuase it works *MUCH* better.
Anyway, I can't wait for ext3, I thought 2.4.11 was *supposed* to have ext3 merged in the main branch. Oh well.
I don't know the exact details, but assuming since Andrea Arcangeli worked on it it's his VM alternative, yes it definately is more stable and to me has noticeably more response under a) interactive feel and b) load than Rik's VM. It's also neater code and there's nowhere near as much special-casing, plus its excellent for applications that stream data.
Ruling aside the obvious objections (changing major subsystems in a so-called "stable" kernel, NIH syndrome) I can only assume Alan's objection is that it was yet another really neat thing developed (or sponsored) by rival Linux company SuSE (like reiserfs, which he also objected to)
The sooner Redhat stop leveraging its collection of kernel hackers to drive Linux kernel development the better for the rest of us that don't care for their crappy distribution.
