My experience is that there's an awful lot of people working with whatever kernel has been provided by their vendor rather than getting kernels direct from kernel.org and they tend to only look as far as the tarball (or other package) they got. > Any one know the statistics for kernel git traffic vs tarballs? The kernel.org traffic is going to miss people using distribution or other non kernel.org traffic so might be a bit misleading.
