Well, that should be their (the users') call to make, understanding the

I'm not arguing one way or another here yet, but here's an example of
the "nightmare" I encountered.
Part of that risks/rewards thing. (:
Before we go advocating for Alternatives that replace packages from
Core/Extras, I want to really understand the reasoning behind *why*
anything believes the Alternatives packages must exist in the first
place (i.e. what's wrong with the versions already in Core/Extras that
can't be worked around in another fashion besides wholesale
replacement). Otherwise, we're just encouraging end-user frustration.
I thought Greg had already made a pretty convincing argument for
alternative kernels. No other speculation has been made (yet).
