[GRLUG] 2.6.31 is here - some words from Torvalds

Of possible interest.  My guess is that
ever more drivers keeps the heat on M$.

**

What else? Lots and lots of driver work. Over 70% of all of the 2.6.30 to
2.6.31 patch is under drivers/, and there's another 6%+ in firmware/ and
sound/. That's not entirely unusual, but it does seem to be growing. My
rough rule of thumb used to be "50% drivers, 50% everything else", but
that's clearly not true any more (and hasn't been for a while - we've been
60%+ since after 2.6.27 - I think the whole 'staging' thing is what moved
things up by several percentage points)
