8 I think he meant for machines that only work under one of the other.
9 Like there would be an default-linux/mips/2004.3 which uses 2.4 and a
10 default-linux/mips/2004.3/o2 which uses 2.6, so that anyone building for
11 an o2 box uses a different profile. The user doesn't switch profiles to
12 switch kernels in this case, since their subarch is only capable of
13 running on one kernel set.
