Sure enough, some people might have need for them all, but, unlike kernel and kernel-modules, this one serves no useful purpose for most users, so I'd rather not see them piling up by default. Users with an actual need for multiple kernel-devel packages should be able to tweak the tools to accomplish this. -- Alexandre Oliva http://www.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ Red Hat Compiler Engineer aoliva@{redhat.com, gcc.gnu.org} Free Software Evangelist oliva@{lsd.ic.unicamp.br, gnu.org}
