One reason is security fixes. Sometimes longterm vanilla already |
| 7 |
includes the fixes from mainline, and when it does not, I know that the |
| 8 |
diff will nearly always apply because they are just two branches of the |
| 9 |
same git tree. |

The other reason is the extra kconfig options in the gentoo sources, |
| 12 |
which are on by default and I don't want any of them. I don't remember |
| 13 |
anymore but I _think_ at some point it wouldn't let me turn them off |
| 14 |
without extreme violence. |
