There has been some more traffic on that particular network that seems to point to yT not being in a position to have people working on BONE. It now looks as though they may not even have the pieces of paper to grant them the code, so while speculation may be premature, the decision seems to be that any work on BONE simply falls into the lap of the kernel guy! Now while the person concerned is a great developer and capable of working like a trojan (probably with less appeal to women then Brad Pitt though) his plate seems to be getting overfull.

I’ve written before about how important I think networking is, but having fully implemented USB is also extremely important. Even better would be to have Bluetooth support but I won’t hold my breath for that.

This all seems horribly familiar to those of us who followed Be’s path to extinction…
