But I was discussing the case of the folks that want to build a custom kernel, and catch bug fixes to the kernel sources without committing the disk space and effort to tracking the -STABLE tree. Most of the time they will be ok. But in some cases, they will be forced to choose between trying to SUP and build the whole source tree, or forgo the kernel bug fixes. -crl -- Chad R.
