Not a bad solution, still, I, as a user, don't think making the compilation |
| 10 |
work with a specific kernel should be considered "unsupported". How many |
| 11 |
times modules stop working because the kernel changed something that |
| 12 |
breakes compilation? And I'm not only talking about closed source drivers, |
| 13 |
even open source ones have this "problem", but in fact, they are fixed |
| 14 |
faster. |

Does the gentoo community really need this kind of strictness? Don't think |
| 17 |
so. |
