I'm also thinking what are the reasons today to not use (let say) kernel 3.8-rc3 (2013-01-10) on Maemo5/N900?

* missing kernel drivers
* changed interface of kernel <--> userpace drivers
* worse power management in some parts

@freemangordon, @pali: If you think I'm nagging we can stop this, I'm not targeting your ignore-list
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...4&postcount=37
Seems there are work to do, but which is show-stopper?
What is still show-stopper?

SGX driver?

for sgx, is N9 Meego build feasible if appropriate userland (glibc etc) are available?

@AapoRantalainen - my ignore list 
? Why is that
If we want to make a progress, not regress, there should be 3D acceleration. IMO.
The point is that without drastically modifying the vanilla, we'll hit newer sysfs interfaces, closed parts in fremantle and whatnot.
I wonder what exactly benefit do you expect from 3.8 on n900?
See, don't get me wrong, I'd love fremantle with 3.8. AFAIK I am the only one so far who has successfully booted fremantle with 3.5(including working SGX driver). But I did it just as a POC as I really don't see the benefit.
BTW you may wan't to join #maemo-alternatives on freenode, Skry and co are doing wonders there

*rumours that ARM is more supported [e.g. http://www.linaro.org/linaro-blog/20...l-upstreaming/]
*Just to keep maemo up-to-date (but maybe kernel is not top priority)

I updated deb packages of kernel-power pre v52 from my git. When autobuilder start working again I will push this final version to extras-devel.
