Re: I've finally snapped

On 7 Sep 2008, Sheridan Hutchinson verbalised:
In an ideal world we'd all use a stock kernel with drivers from the repo
that are pre-built, but I know it doesn't work like that

Not least because even those of us that are not kernel hackers may well
have patches of our own, or have applied upstream fixes for bugs we've
encountered that we don't want to wait to flow into the distribution's
packages. (My most recent example of this: a fix to be in 2.6.26.4 which
makes packet-written media on IDE CD-RW drives appear to be read-only at
all times, which is a bit of a downer if you're trying to back up to
them.)
