Yes you may be a developer or you have gcc and all *-devel packages installed
but think about the averagre user who wants a stable kernel, stable glibc and
not complain when it crash with a kernel oops and not knowing what happened
(though tests show that 2.4 kernel is more stable than windoze 2000 ;)
In any csae, it is provided by the hackX stuff, so you can always get it
if you really want to.
