I would call this branch "OUTDATED" ..... the 0.9 interface has been |
| 19 |
around since 2001-02-21 thats more than a year advance and allowance |

So, the code has been around. should we really have waited for another |
| 25 |
year using old, slightly broken and buggy codebase that was completely |
| 26 |
unsupported by the developers and where the drivers werent updated? I |
| 27 |
dont think that would be a good thing in the long run. |
