I like the idea a lot, but I have a question about version numbers. Potato is
2.2, so would you call 2.2.1? I'm assuming it would be more than just 2.2r2,
etc.
It would be better to have these included in another release with our blessings
than added in at your own risk, IMHO. A 2.4 kernel simply should not be
included in THE potato release, however. There should be no question about that
simply because of the major differences between 2.2 and 2.4.
