Chris, good to hear your working on genkernel  :-) . I'll file a
bugreport with the a draft for the Genkernel Guide. Can you help me by
providing the following input?

-Which features are new in genkernel and where can I find more info
about hem?
-Which features mentioned in the genkernel guide are obsolete?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,

Aniruddha
