Actually I like Cc's on list mail because I want to answer fast and do not
read the mailing lists as often as my inbox :)

Thanks for the warning. In case you are right - I don't see a big problem since
I just managed to write a script that builds all the kernels in one big sweep
including all the modules etc.
So in case a patch is available I will just make a new source package and build
them all.
I hope I get the time before the deadline of the isos...
