status of 2.7 feature list

Status of HPI
-------------
Started contact with LTP.  LTP suggested changes to fit better with
LTP.  HPI conformance suite being modified to match LTP requirements.

Status of IPv6
--------------
mobile-ipv6 discussions on mailing list about maintainer issues with
splitting mobile-ipv6 between kernel and user.
Some components that could be moved to user are moving.
mobile-ipv6 likely to be accepted into Linux.
Hopes to be accepted before 2.5 closes, 50/50 chance of acceptance.
dhcpv6 project complete basic support.  Additional optional options
that could be supported.  A few options are supported.  Options
that applications are not likely to use are not likely to be supported
soon.  New features would be supported.
Distros could pick up latest dhcpv6 to get these options.
Prefix list implemented against routing tables performs slow.  IBM to
provide implementation connecting to routing tables AND a higher
performance interface implementation.  Discussion on mailing list
maintainers seem to dislike interface implmentation, but may be
changing their minds.
IPv6 catching real attention.  DOD ratified memorandum stipulated
that products purchased should include ipv6.

Status of TIPC
--------------
Discussion with Erricson about problem of having two source trees.
Two goals hard to meet Erricson wants TIPC to work on multiple OS,
OSDL wants TIPC mainlined.
Dave Olien reviewing TIPC code to analyze issues with mainline.
Rusty suggested adopt mainline approach of acceptance by distros of
RPMs for module support.
OSDL has kernel mainline goal.
OSDL goal to improve linux kernel, OSDL not likely to work on code
that won't go in kernel.

Status of SDE
-------------
Kernel event queue patch rejected
Problem solved regarding out of order event delivery.
