Say, isn't that a good thing? I thought the current LKM scheme was disliked,
dysfunctional, and crippled in many ways. That's the impression I've gotten
from reading these lists for a while, at least. So if we now have to redo
them, that'd be a nice chance to get them right, and possibly compatible with
something soneone else uses, if it's good. No?
