Personally I don't find this a gating factor. I have mentioned in the past that I don't want to support 3 kernel releases at once, but I've found maintenance of the etch kernel to be pretty manageable - mostly thanks to the single source and the closeness to upstream-head. I expect the overhead of security support for a recent upstream to be pretty low at the beginning. -- dann frazier -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
