If there's a bug in 2.4.20, he fixes it in 2.4.21-preX, he might even release 2.4.21 right away with just a single fix. If there's a bug in a vendor kernel, it is burnt forever onto a cd, and we have to support everyone afflicted by it. When the vendor screws up, they risk their revenue and the paychecks of every employee. Clearly we won't convince each other ;-) The cool part about linux is that we don't have to. -chris
