No, the answer to that still is =93no=94 in it=92s current state and we = know that. I think one of the main problems is that no one has been able to pull = the thing to the end in the last three years. Why should it happen within 6 = weeks now? I think it would be a really good idea to do that but the current TODO = list, I think, is by far not sufficing. There=92s a second problem we=92ll hit in that same timeframe: general = network stack breakage; we=92ll hit the times when we=92ll not be sure if = things broke because of VIMAGE or are also broken in the normal network stack. = There=92ll be a lot of regression test writing and debugging to be done. That all said, I=92d like to see it happen as well, but I=92d love to = have a lot of the issues being addressed first before putting a date on it to = enable it in GENERIC in HEAD. /bz =97=20 Bjoern A.
