	If you don't mind, I would like a bit more understanding about
how much is "radical" and how much is not. I would personally put that
around "breaking backward compatibility", but you may have other
ideas.
	Also, I'm not clear how the stuff in wireless-2.6 is supposed
to trickle into the other trees (netdev-2.6, -mm and Linus's), and how
to better link it with the CVS of the various drivers involved.
