    Wheren't we going to go straight to 3.0? I seem to rember that being hotly debated but now I cant find a thing on that debate. (quick googling revealed nothing)

    ..It seems that any battle between the two implementations will now be played out in public, in good open source fashion.

    * forged reaches for the compiler...:)

  3. Someone should start a site.... by jericho4.0 · · Score: 1, Redundant
    Golly!!! That was an informative article.

    I was aware of the debate about the linux threading issue, but the kernel mailing list was too noisy to pick out this kind of detail.

    Someone should start a site that covers long term issues, rather than the week by week stuff I've found on the web... or maybe someone has, and I'm just too out of the loop....
