My 2 cents here. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
1) In the past I had hardly traceable issues with gentoo-sources |
| 20 |
which were not present in vanilla kernels. I just switched back to |
| 21 |
vanilla. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
2) Gentoo-sources are sometimes behind vanilla kernel. Due to some |
| 24 |
derivative from Murphy's law this always happens when I need some |
| 25 |
new features. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
3) I looked over patches in gentoo-sources and found none I'm |
| 28 |
interested into. (That doesn't mean they are useless, just not my |
| 29 |
usecases.) |
