nt model (or at least they have no resources to do testing [Torvalds])
c) end-users (or those who are not kernel maintainers) are directed permanently to distros kernels and "stay away from kernel.org you wanna-bees!
this is not what is being said. What is being said is that if you can't
deal with occasional breakage, you're better off using vendor kernels.
But.. if you can't deal with occasional breakage, you wouldn't test test
kernels EITHER. If you can deal with an occasional breakage, I hope you
and everyone else who can, will run and test kernel.org kernels,
especially the -rc ones.
Most of the "instability" people complain about with the new 2.6 model
is caused by people not testing the -rc kernels before they are
released, so that they end up being released with regressions.
