Stuff will start showing up on kernel.org presumeably when BitMover
works out how to do proper locking on a repository without giving
'other' and 'group' write permission.

I presume one can pretty easily set up a cron to do that... but I wonder
if it is ok with Marcelo?  If Marcelo has plans for that repository, we
ought not touch it probably.

In general, though, agreed :)

As a temporary measure people can pull from
	http://gkernel.bkbits.net/marcelo-2.4

which is always up-to-date with the latest Marcelo pre-patch, and
contains nothing else.
