Ohh... let me see, I sell system for a living, 100's a year, my clients
like them to come preloaded with the latest bits that I have certified
for production use, they install the box and it runs, infact it runs
great for a year or so, then they call me because they want to change
some things, well, I have to figure out what they have before I go
makeing recomendations.
No, noone said just because you LOAD a custom built X.Y-STABLE that
you have to track it.
