anything happening with kbuild 2.5?
I'm just wondering if anything is happening with kbuild 2.5, since I think it makes sense to put it in.
There seem to be a number of fairly well known developers in favour of it (Robert Love, Richard Gooch, Mike Fedyk, Paul Mackerras, Alan Cox, Andrea Arcangeli, Dave Jones, for a few), and I don't see any major objections to it in the archives.
According to my googling, the only comment Linus has had on the topic since January is this (the typos are his):
"I'm hoping we can get there in small steps, rather than a big traumatic merge. I'd love to just try to merge it piecemeal.
Especially as I don't find the existign system so broken."
Keith--any way you can send it in piecemeal like he wants?

Yes it's happening.
I just almost completed integrating it into my next hope-so-release (2.4.19-pre8-ac5-s1)
What is amazing - that it builds. Yeah.
*sigh* "If silly Stingray did it, powerful Linus of course able to do it !"
(If all things were so simple ...)
