OK, I'll try to summarize what I understand of the latest changes in -CURRENT:
1. LKMs are gone.
2. This was decided by the core team.
3. Nobody else was informed.
4. In my case, my Vinum product just got dumped from the repository.
The first thing I heard was a laconic comment from Søren saying
``Sorry for the mess, but it was overdue...'', followed by a
commit message showing them all gone.
Well, thanks a lot. Suddenly, without any warning (but still
overdue...), my project is gone, and I have an unknown amount of work
to get back on track. The least I would have expected would be a bit
of advance warning. Instead, what do I get?

Well, this is certainly an unproductive and flame-prone way to perform
code removal. I'd consider it a slap in the eye for all non-core
committers. I'd be interested in knowing how you would perform it if
you were deliberately trying to annoy us.
