I do both ;) Actually, if the kernel is called -benX with X > 0, then it's a snapshot of a "stable" release. For example, I uploaded 2.4.21-ben1 to my stable rsync today. Any kernel called -ben1 should be identical, unless somebody uploaded a hacked one, but there's nothing I can do there... If it's called -ben0, then it's a snapshot of whatever is in my devel tree at a given time and you can't rely on consistency. It will stay -ben0 until I release a new stable. Ben;
