It's still 3 categories, but separate by type of bug instead of area of bug. It's still fine with me. My biggest concern was keeping the kernel separate, and it is in either form. I'll happily defer to Bruce with respect to an efficient set of kernel bug categories for an embedded "not-a-distribution". > Let's keep it simple. Agreed. -- Darren Hart Embedded Linux Kernel
