    I am sure this has been discussed before, but why does the linux
    community/kernel development community not implement something along the
    lines of the BSD CVS Tree system, where if users stay "current" with
    developments in a particular tree, kernel source et al, is kept current,
    automagically.

    Have I missed the boat?

    Cheers
