>>From a parochial point of view, that makes perfect sense: someone
else's large software changes are a source of concern.  The same thing
applies to non-LKML people -- ordinary users -- when *your* large
software changes are proposed.

Perhaps this change in perspective would help you see the absurdity of
proposing kernel-2.6.git as a hosting repository for all kinds of
stuff, on the theory that kernel updates get pushed to "eager" users
more frequently than other kinds of updates.  (Never mind that data
shows otherwise.)
