O.k. let's disagree ;)

I didn't carefully delete that paragraph - however, I also didn't want this thread to become a personal attacking flamewar either. I wasn't at all satisfied with your initial reaction and shoot back. I actually wanted this thread to dicsuss wether the kernel should care for specific unofficial versions of some software in some distros - I just think that no software project should work around bugs in software never release by the original authors just because it is used in a major distribution, where people have virtually no choice (if, like in debian, there were seperate gcc-2.95 and gcc-pre3 packages that could be used alternatively, this would be differemt, but AFAIK the redhat package management system is not able to provide for this).
So let's die this thread, or at least the name-calling right now. I'll try as best as I can to keep the disucssion to the original, on-topic point only.
