The security update one, Thomas' one or Danny's?" Well, kernelteam doesn't tell me if when and what they will or will not update. But I understand your problem. Perhaps a hackkernel-2.4 for 9.2 isn't such a bad idea afterall. Only...it sounds rather unstable (hack...). And I am afraid we will get zillions asking for feature XXX, which would make the whole thing unstable and difficult to maintain (there are already hunderds of patches in the kernel).
Ofcourse, the real problem, IMO, is that kernelteam doesn't have time to reply to patches people send. Sometimes leading to them being lost:( I am sad that Juan did not update the kernel with some of the patches thomas and andrey supplied, but then, perhaps he is not even aware about it. Or priorities are different. But in the meantime, we are all doing the same work. A bit a waste of effort. > > Thomas, at some point you used TmB for your kernel, was there something > you didn't like about that?
