Don't compare apples and eggs. In other distros, heavy backporting of |
| 10 |
fixes and so on happens; but on Gentoo, we instead want to keep our |
| 11 |
genpatches minimal and therefore follow upstream stable more closely. If |
| 12 |
we have a kernel version stable that is stable on other distros, it is |
| 13 |
merely a sign that our stabilization currently is in a severe state... |
