===8<=== CUT ===>8===

What I would personally like to see is a system whereby people
submitting reports stated what kernel options they'd used, and some
sort of auto-analyser could then check to see what options weren't
appearing in reports on the basis that untested options are more
likely to contain bugs than heavily tested ones...

Best wishes from Riley.
