Torvalds Clarifies OSDL Relationship

Last week, the Open Source Development Lab issued a draft proposal on what characteristics it feels should be incorporated into the Linux kernel to help facilitate its use in data centers.

Obstensively, this kind of document has broader reaching capabilities than just Linux in the data center, since what's good for data center work is often good for general enterprise functionality, too.

At first glance, it's a good idea. Many has been the time that I have jumped up and called for some laundry lists of goals that Linux developers can shoot for, both in the kernel and in all the other surrounding applications. But something tickled the back of my brain when this announcement came out--an itch I really wanted to scratch.
