i havent seen any new buses in the kernels but am still stuck on 4.6.4 because of nvidia. Why are we killing the kernel console? I loved it. Not sure how but the TTYs have disappeared on me and i have like no consoles now and have to try to fix things with SSH. What a pain in the ass..

As for the disappearance of tty's, I suppose you should blame nvidia and their closed source kernel module which is responsible for handling/displaying the console.

ZFS, seriously? Of course it won't be in 4.8, or even 4.9, or any other foreseeable release. Did you seriously expect it to be included, Michael?
