Um, you haven't actually seen this for yourself, have you? Not much goes
into Debian (most that does is stuff that's already in the latest -pre, just
backported by Xu), but RedHat is absolutely amazing. Download their kernel
source one time, at one stage they had over 200 individual patches in. It's
like all of their packages, they have stacks of patches that generally break
stuff, and that they never submit upstream anyway.</rant>
