It's short-sighted to "agree" that we're not going to have more than one kernel source in the distro when the circumstances have not yet arisen where we have to consider what to do about a new upstream major version. For that matter, if someone in the project decides that they have need for a different kernel than the one the kernel team wants to ship (for a particular port, or to support older hardware, or to support a newer cutting-edge kernel design, or for some other reason), the kernel team doesn't have the authority to prohibit this. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
