Close. Not everyone. For example, you do not think the process is perfect. I don't think Stefan meant the above as tongue-in-cheek, for what it's worth. Another stable kernel with different rules really would be an interesting exercise, and would probably fulfill a need for a certain audience. It's not like nobody does that already, anyway. For example, I hear Fedora has a kernel that they maintain well for a different audience, using different rules. Ciao, Jonathan
