Keep in mind that this constant kernel revving comes with a cost. Look at the bodhi karma each time we try to bring a new kernel version to a release. For everything we fix, we likely break something else (like various sound issues on intel recently). Upstream isn't perfect, and if I had to choose between supporting new people, or keeping existing people unbroken, I'll choose on the side of existing people every time. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating
