This has good and bad sides to it. If Herbert has fixed the
networking problems, including IP masq., then it would be workable for
most people to use a thus-patched version.
However, on the downside, it would become more difficult to apply
third-party patches (usu. adding extra features) since the diffs won't
necessarily apply at the same place or work the same way.
If the serious bugs have indeed been fixed, then perhaps such a kernel
would be the right one to use.
