I'd be happy with either plan: 1) GENERIC -> GENERIC-STATIC or STATIC, MINIMAL -> GENERIC, create new MINIMAL 2) MINIMAL -> MODULAR, create new MINIMAL We just need at least one supported working kernel without VIMAGE (and probably other useful stuff, that is not useful to everyone). -- Gleb Smirnoff
