    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 :-)
