well, your 2.6.26 plans, if i understand them correctly, is to move 
currently working PCI IDs from e1000 to e1000e, like you attempted to d 
it in v2.6.24, which Linus reverted - correct? I.e. e1000 simply wont 
support eth0 on my T60 from 2.6.26 on? That is still an incredibly 
stupid plan, and no amount of announcement on lkml will make it any less 
stupid.

... which pretty much pulls the rug from under your argument, no?
