It's difficult, but perhaps providing a link to the latest "stable team" release in addition to Linus's release would solve the problem. At least then you can do what Nick wanted (assuming the kernel.org FAQ gets fixed) and download the "patch" for 2.6.14.5, say, revert it, then apply Linus's latest and greatest (one or more times as required). Bloats the front page though. I think as long as something is documented properly it doesn't really matter. Currently it isn't. -- Cheers, Alistair.
