Yes, and to the immediate right of each of these links, under the
table heading "Description", are links to one page per patch, each
providing both detailed descriptions of the contents of the patch
as well as broken up small patches for every separate change
contained within the big patch.

Alternatively, you can reach those same pages from lower down
the page under the heading "Download Area for April 2004 stream".

Well, what "everyone gets told" by us is how to find the officially supported
service stream, on developerWorks.  I'm now getting confused as to what you're
actually asking for ...

The official Linux kernel tree is hosted on http://linux.bkbits.net; you
can browse the source tree as well as change logs online, or you can use
bitkeeper to download a copy.  (There's also a link to bitmover, the company
that provides bitkeeper, that has detailed information on how to get and
use bitkeeper).  If you don't like bitkeeper, you can also download
daily snapshots from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/snapshots.

(All this is just standard Linux kernel development, nothing to do with IBM.
But that was actually the point, we want to stop doing special things ...)

Bye,
Ulrich
