Hm, did you consult the current kernel developers/maintainers/packagers |
| 5 |
before creating this? At first glance I see a number of issues that |
| 6 |
would make this completely impractical and impossible to implement. |

Also, have you taken a look at the current genkernel work being done for |
| 9 |
2.6? It probably resolves lots of the issues it sounds like you |
| 10 |
currently have with the kernel packaging process. |

I do find the idea of packaging up a "binary" kernel a bit interesting, |
| 13 |
but who is going to be doing that packaging? And who is going to |
| 14 |
mediate the zillion different "but why don't you select this kernel |
| 15 |
option instead" requests that will be caused by such a package? :) |
