So there is going to be a continuous flow of patches to add support for
new distros (Arch Linux, Slackware, Linux Mint, SuSE, Debian, etc etc) and
if different versions of a distro handles things differently then you are
also going to deal with that? Might be fine, but it just sounds a bit
scary to me to try to support m different distros, each in n different
versions from the kernel... Couldn't this somehow be done once and for all
in a distro neutral way?
Just asking :-)
