Is this something that got missed, or did HR drop it,
or....?
Sorry, but I really don't believe it is good, much less best practice to do something like removing a kernel include file within one
release. If
they'd made it go a away for 7.0, I would deal, but to suddenly drop it, bad.
Tell it to Linus, not us:
Well, I d/l the latest from NVidia, and that one built. Of course, now I'm going to really worry about several of my users, who have old - as in 5-10 year old, NVidia cards, who need legacy drivers, like the 304.
