Andrew uses BK too. He extends its function by maintaining a set of patches
above and beyond the committed BK tree... Ted made a really valid point. The
people at the top _are_ _very_ _very_ important.

There are several ways to get kernel source if _you_ do not want to use BK. I
use BK. There are enough projects around that I can avoid working on a SVM
for a year... Thats my option though - you do not have to agree.
