This means that Mandrake should get their bugfix included into the kernel.
However, I must agree that more or less every major distribution except us
supplies a rather heavily patched kernel. In truth, the reason not to
patch our kernel is more in that maintaining our patches is a PITA with
the current source packages and that dbs is no substitute for a modern
source package format. =p
