psyborg:

since the kernel is now updated regularly it would be convenient to switch to it's in-tree wireless drivers, and abandon backports for good. mixing new wireless drivers with older kernels is generally a bad idea.

i have witnessed at least one situation (on a 64bit PC) where backports driver performed worse than the one built into kernel

jow-:

This would make it impossible to update drivers in stable release branches.

psyborg:

doesn't the stable release gets updated kernel too?
