It's a good idea to let them know (e.g., bug/feature report). I've worked a bit w/ Ubuntu, RHEL, and SLES. Even though the changes might eventually make downstream, some distros won't pull everything (reasonably), but only the pieces they find/know to be required or desired by users/customers -- specially on released/ stable distro versions. So, letting them know / ask for consideration usually helps. -- Mauricio Faria de Oliveira IBM Linux Technology Center
