Agreed on all points, especially testing and freezing kernel version. ICA proves reproducability, not sanity. LFS rebuildability is a step higher in proving sanity and to some degree stability. And an extensive BLFS installation can establish sanity and stability. We would need huge compile farms to try and reach any level of confidence if the base system kept changing. -- Archaic Want control, education, and security from your operating system?
