I just checked my 10 years old project. Current kernel size is few
hundreds KiB greater than 2.6.12 plus uClibc size. That makes me feel
a bit hopeless. However I still think there is some value in pissing
against wind, just because all progress depends on unreasonable men.
It seems uClibc-ng didn't dump out anything present in uClibc, so
maintaining both does make little sense. I would not also rename
uclibc.make file and pretend uClibc is still alive in its uClibc-ng
incarnation as I hope it will end up the very same way as (e)glibc
story. Counterproposals?
