The Linux kernel isn't really bloated, until you start adding the 100+
patches that make up a Mandrake kernel. I'm afraid that our attempt to
appease all of the desires for "the latest thing" is making our kernel
too large. While it would be unreasonable to provide specific kernels
for every combination of desirable features, perhaps features that would
not be available in a default Mandrake install should be unavailable in
a precompiled binary kernel. With the availability of both the .src.rpm
and kernel-source package, it is trivial for anyone who wants the more
exotic features to compile his own kernel.
