Linux releases early and often
+
+ -
+ Linux is released about 5 times a year (plus stable updates
+ every week or two)
+
+ -
+ For 'wheezy' we chose to freeze with Linux 3.2, which was
+ getting pretty old by the time of release
+
+ -
+ Good news: we have lots of new kernel features in testing/unstable
+
+ -
+ Bad news: some of them won't really work without new userland
+
+
+
+
Team device driver [3.3]
+
+ -
+ Alternative to the bonding driver - simpler, modular, high-level
+ control deferred to userland
+
+ -
+ Basic configuration can be done with ip, but it really
+ needs new tools - teamd, teamnl, etc.
+
+ -
+ Want to make it work? See
+ http://bugs.debian.org/695850

+
Transcendent memory [3.0-3.5]
+
+ -
+ Abstract storage for memory pages, expected to be slower than
+ regular memory but faster than disk
+
+ -
+ Can provide a second layer of page cache (cleancache and frontswap)
+
+ -
+ Pages stored by hypervisor (Xen), compressed local memory
+ (zcache) or cluster of machines (RAMster)
+
+ -
+ Not yet enabled in Debian kernels, and needs some thought about
+ configuration
+
