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? /Mikael
