I'm glad too. I've had to do the reverse: cherry-pick through 2000
patches from distro kernel source packages, to find the good ones for
my kernel - bug fixes, driver fixes. It took a long time, and I had
to give up before finishing, it was simply too much work.
That was 2.4, back when distros did a lot of their own patches, kept
outside the mainline kernel. Thankfully, the 2.6 process is much better.
