> Can't say I can get behind MS trying to shift maintenance for a Windows only "feature" onto the Linux devs here. Interesting take on the situation. This is effectively a driver they need to get into the kernel (just one that targets a paravirtualization host and not “real” hardware), and Linus has been adamant that the correct way to write a driver in Linux is to upstream it into the kernel. The perspective that upstreaming a driver into the Linux kernel is a burden for Linux kernel developers is one I haven’t heard before, and seems to clash with Linus’s typical stance. Is this something that has some prior examples? Genuinely curious.
