Well, yeah. That's pretty much a pre-requisite. Doesn't mean that you need 100% coverage though. If you produce something that only gets in 80% of the patches that could be applied back that's still better than what we have now. And it makes it easier for someone else to help out with the missing 20%. > So far, I've made three patchfiles that can be applied to 4.2REL and 4.3R= EL. > Not exactly the repertoire one would need to garner interest and momentum. It's a start. What's the URL?
