Linus Torvalds has announced the release of version 2.6.30 of the Linux kernel. "I'm sure we've missed something, and I know we have some regressions pending. At the same time, we do need the coverage of a eral release, and on the whole it looks pretty good. We've fixed a few regressions in the last few days, and there's always 2.6.30.x." The list of changes is interesting.

Well, you're in luck. You can personally change it. As linus likes to say, His tree of the kernel is his tree. If you disagree, create your own tree. All the major distros have their own trees that vary from Linus' tree.
I know that would be a time consuming proposition for little real gain, but sometimes I think we have it too good in our vast world of open source software.
Feel free to express your desires, we need to hear all voices so that the majority of them can be served by the default behavior. Your particular request, most likely wouldn't be best for most users so its unlikely to be adopted in a major tree.
Edit: my grammar filter is broken again. Sorry.

I would like to see more things pushed to the user-space (ala uKernel). Anyway I believe they did their best again with this release.
