I do disagree on the "normal users should not be automatically upgraded" for two reasons. One is that Linus, et al. consider the kernel to be the "stable" kernel. The second is that we don't force anyone to upgrade their kernel. It is still a manual process. That being said, I'm more than willing to go with a specific profile, and was actually planning on implementing one for 2004.3 as a separate stacked profile. --=20 Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Operations/QA Manager Games - Developer Gentoo Linux Is your power animal a penguin? --=-NzKSryMoeo0iIhwzFcpk Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBBL7GgkT4lNIS36YERAuERAKCdiFqRhqkXaO9s8gPve0W/u/MrrQCfRKjH vgz9Z1DII45Fhq44L6YNh4A= =18Yh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-NzKSryMoeo0iIhwzFcpk--
