So what about patches that the kernel maintainers have specifically decided to exclude, such as the TARPIT target for iptables? This handy module is implemented as part of the iptables Patch-O-Matics. Some of the POMs are a bit unstable, but this one is kept out of the main kernel tree for political reasons. Some purists consider it to be "protocol abuse". I have specific interest in the TARPIT patch, but in a more general sense, it's just an example of the many fine patches available for the kernel. It really seems quite un-Gentoo-ish (whatever that means) to so blanketly dismiss them. What say ye? -- Batou: Hey, Major... You ever hear of "human rights"?
