I hope that's not the opinion of all the kernel developers - where does that
leave distributions like slackware, debian, and the rest that don't have the
time or resources to modify the kernel themselves? Every kernel release that
is meant to keep developers "in sync", as you say, should be a 2.4.x-prex
release, and the stable releases should actually be stable. If this means
slowing the release schedule, so be it. You are proposing to release
unfinished, buggy and unstable code and let the distributions pick up your
slack. It sounds like something Microsoft would do.
