Stupid question: why people on http://secure.netroedge.com/~lm78/ is not
smashed with a hammer on the head and 'morally forced' to post, comment, etc.
patches on LKML ? They continue to ship releases, every vendor tracks them,
and every vendor has to correct changes they have not tracked from mainline,
like that old about __exit functions, and now initcalls...

I really do not understand some things about Linux. Some people look like
living in alternative universes...
