Hm? Not really. That was a direct quote from one of the kernel team. |

(Note: if gentoo-sources now includes 2.6.x kernels, that was referring |
| 15 |
to the 2.4.x set) |

The 2.6.x patchset is a *lot* cleaner. I'm not the only dev who still |
| 18 |
has strong objections to at least one of the patches that's included in |
| 19 |
there, however. |

For reference: gentoo-sources (2.4) rarely worked on either of my x86 |
| 22 |
boxes. gentoo-dev-sources (2.6) works on both as of 2.6.7. Before then I |
| 23 |
had to manually revert a patch to avoid a solid lock before init came |
| 24 |
up. |
