Ideally, I'd like to see a common kernel  interface  for  all  archi-
tectures,  PowerPC  and ARM and MIPS and ... But last time I dared to
suggest this I've been told what a nincompoop I am.

I will accept what is decided by the P.T.B., but  I  request  not  to
break backwards compatibility with existing systems.
