Hi.

Maybe lots of you already know the answer, maybe it's a really stupid 
question. If it is, please tell me. I'll not be offended.

Why there are two different kernel trees? There is always the official 
release, provided by Torvalds, and then Alan provides a patch merging Linus's 
stuff, and adding (?) tons of bug fixes.

Why aren't the -ac patches completely merged to the official tree, and you 
centralize the work on single kernel patches ?? Won't it be easier to 
administrate?

I'm so sorry if it's a really stupid question. It's because I never know what 
pre-patch to apply, the -ac* or the -pre*. In doubt, I apply Alan's, because 
it appears to be always Linus stuff, and more bug fixes, recently, the 
Linus's -pre* appears to have merges from the -ac on each release.
I just don't understand why it can all be merged.
