It has done so for years however its increased complexity and my diminishing time to maintain it mean its even less maintainable. It is an ideal candidate for a rewrite if a generic kernel patching framework is developed. Until then it can be removed or be maintained by person other than me. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=254086 Feel free to take over if you want it. Daniel
