However, it seems to me there is a trend that drivers are not contained |
| 8 |
so much in add-on packages, as before, but are getting into the main |
| 9 |
kernel tree. I think the development federation enabled by git is |
| 10 |
starting to effect this more. For example, my VFD display driver that |
| 11 |
used to come from lirc is now in the kernel source tree. Many lm_sensors |
| 12 |
drivers are now in the kernel tree, Even VMware guest drivers are now |
| 13 |
in the kernel tree. So the potential for clashes is minimizing. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
But I agree it would be better to build those drivers as modules, in |
| 16 |
any case. |
