I tend to agree with you on this Quintin. Still, "the latest,
greatest kernel"s are cooker. I'd advise that those who use cooker
kernels (I do), it's a good idea to also lurk on the cooker mailing
list, or check the archive. Very often problems come up with cooker
kernels within a day or two of being made available on the mirrors.
Specially the early patch levels, eg, -1mdk. If you pay attention to
the cooker ML discussion (particularly Juan), it's fairly easy to
tell when the latest kernel is good to go. Currently 2.4.13-2mdk is
close.
