But, do you see the need for ripping out the current code? For those of
us that are still running a slightly more primitive distro, it would be
nice to have some pretty effective default behavior, like what is in the
kernel now.

Yeah, I don't think we need it the second the kernel boots :) Do you
really think this is a 2.6 showstopper? Since it will require distro
cooperation anyway, and those are many months from releasing a 2.6
distro, do we really need it in place for 2.6.0?
