Andrew uses BK too. He extends its function by maintaining a set of patches above and beyond the committed BK tree... Ted made a really valid point. The people at the top _are_ _very_ _very_ important. There are several ways to get kernel source if _you_ do not want to use BK. I use BK. There are enough projects around that I can avoid working on a SVM for a year... Thats my option though - you do not have to agree.
