    Forgive if I'm missing any developments on this list; I've been (again ...)
    unsubscribed by one of Mati's scripts ...

    No substancial changes have been done to the AX.25 kernel stack in a extended
    period of time. As the result it is still doing crude stuff like globally
    enabling and disabling interrupts, has no understanding of shared skb, isn't
    fully multithreaded and probably plenty more problems I haven't spotted yet.
    Now that we're about to remove global cli() / sti() from the kernel this
    means the AX.25 stack will soon break entirely.

    Is there any ongoing development I'm not aware of? Just in case I've
    started doing some cleanup last night ...
