I would certainly be ready to part with my hard earned shekels
for a service such as Neal is suggesting, however it would be
even better if such a service also included fixes for "non security"
bugs found after the product release, and not just more "interesting"
versions.
BTW: Would I be correct in assuming that the new glibc is the main
culprit for incompatibility between Cooker and 7.2, and once we move
past this, at least for a little while subsequent Cookers will be more
compatible with subsequent releases?
