Re: more current kernels for sarge in volatile?

Actually, I think we should first consider which kernel minor version we
want to use (including of course the requirements on the user side like
udev, devfs, ...), and if we have done that, resolve any technical
issues with the infrastructure.
The basic issues are the same wherever this happens:
- Users should get a working upgrade path from sarge to
sarge-newer-kernels and from there to etch. This needs to be true for
the kernel and all tools included, which means we should try to limit
the number of changed tools as much as possible.
- Any security issues that happen need to be resolved - so we should
limit the number of versions we offer.
- ...
Cheers,
Andi
