How does the above lack of warranty from a commercial for-profit vendor
differ from the "These packages are provided As-Is with no implied warranty

all users of packages advertised on the SL list -- ElRepo in this particular
instance.
Yasha,
I am certain that even you must understand the difference between paid-for
support by the largest Linux vendor on the planet for a kernel run by
tens of millions, and a handful of people providing an alternative kernel
(that could be useful to some users).
Even with the legalese. I don't know what you are getting at though.
If you think running kernel-ml in production, feel free to do so on your
own terms, the ELRepo project however does not advise to use kernel-ml for
production use and doesn't want people to assume that it provides the same
maturity, reliability, security or support as the upstream kernel
releases. http://elrepo.org/tiki/kernel-ml
Can we now please end this thread ? If you like to continue your own
thoughts on certain matters, feel free to do so on your own blog. I
however don't see the merits of picking on people's words.
Kind regards,
