But how many people on cooker (besides you, Juan and Danny) know this?
If everyone on cooker knew this, why would they be reverting packages? I
just wanted to make sure people on cooker know it's not cooker-specific
(which *has* *not* been said much until now).

Agree, which is why people need to know that reverting is not the
solution (which has been used already by a number of people).

And if Juan is working on another kernel update for 9.1, shouldn't the
patch be applied there too, or must we keep telling people not to use
Mandrakesoft kernels but Danny's update instead?
