I'm not sure, I think trinity sort of took over :)

My point was that people should be submitting a more significant amount
of test code along with their new ABI - none of the recent syscalls added
has any mention in LTP for example.

No objections on my end. I believe that Dave previously objected because
it's hard to make it work on sync with the kernel's release cycle.

I've actually presented a proposal in linuxcon back in 2013 for unifying
trinity into the kernel, and using common headers for syscalls. This would
force people who add/modify syscalls to update trinity, and it'll also make
the ABI self documenting as one would need to be very specific about what
parameters are expected for each syscall.


Thanks,
