The devs have their own packages to worry about, and GKH has the kernels still there plus being the head driver guy on the mainline kernel, plus his SuSE stuff (his paying job), and all the other stuff (stable-line patchset, udev, a bunch of other single-shot stuff he volunteers for) he does around the kernel, to worry about. The last thing they need to worry about is a bunch of kernel guys' ever-changing patchsets, where they aren't judged mainline kernel worthy just yet. (BTW, could you please set your client, gmail it would appear, to not emit HTML in posts to the list? Gentoo doesn't seem as strict about it as many community lists do, but many consider HTML mail the domain of crackers and spammers, believing if someone has to use HTML, the real content can't be worth one's time to read in the first place, and therefore killfile it, as I do on my mail client. The only reason I see your message here is because I'm reading the list as a newsgroup, on gmane, not as mail.) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
