That's nice.
What I would like is for someone to maintain a set of "required" patches to each new kernel -- "required" here meaning "these patches are needed for kernel x.y.z to build or boot cleanly."
The patchsets would contain only compile/link fixes and critical logic fixes to release and pre-release kernels.
This wouldn't be for me necessarily, as I already keep a "fixes" email file, but I think that this could help cut down on repeated emails on lkml about <2.5.19 has errors> or "mounting a CD with ide-scsi crashes 2.5.11."
It could help developers, users, and testers get going quickly.
