Great.

Unless you have any strong objections, I will probably drop 
usermode-sources from Gentoo, and suggest that users migrate to 
gentoo-sources.

The problem is that usermode-sources doesn't have a maintainer within 
Gentoo. At the moment I've been taking care of it, but you know how 
clueless I am about UML. Also, it's a lot of work to maintain a kernel 
within a distro, and Gentoo have too many...

Thanks for helping us out with the UML bugs, and I hope you will 
continue spending a few minutes here and there providing input. I don't 
expect you will, but if you have time, you are always welcome to send 
important UML fixes to me for inclusion in Gentoo's patchset (we aren't 
quite as strict as -stable). I'll be keeping an eye on the -bs patchset 
anyway.

Daniel
