Yeah, I do.  I was planning on making people do "make linux ARCH=um".

I like that one.  It's in my pool.  Except I added a comment to explain what's 
happening.

It's going to happen sooner rather than later.  I'm going to send it to Alan 
sometime after 2.4.0 and before Linus forks off the 2.5 pool.  That way I 
don't have to send it in twice.

The only comment I've heard was from Rusty, who mentioned it to Linus about a 
year ago.  Linus said he thought it should go in for sheer hack value...
