Yeah, but it's not *your* work, it's someone else who *wants* to do it.
I think we should foster an empowering environment, and not take a
stance of "you can't do that!".
Except that bugs inevitably get misfiled or misattributed and so it is a
significant chunk of work.
Yes, bug attribution issues need to be addressed as part of the process.
While that can work, I think this puts users in the worst place as a
non-mainline kernel will inevitably lag in terms of security fixes, etc.
And any kernel modules that are built in Extras won't be able to be used
for that kernel.
Well, that should be their (the users') call to make, understanding the
risks/rewards for using bits from Alternatives (of CCRMA).
Explaining that clearly is not going to be easy, if it's even
possible.
Nobody said anything about easy... (:
