I personally fear for the wget/configure/make/makezlilo kernel upgraders 
who happen to miss out on about 7Mb of added patches and customization. 
  Ya know?  I blame bugtraq and friends for that one, too:  Folks get 
reading, and decide that they *need* the new Version XYZ or they *can't* 
possibly be safe.  Meanwhile, RH/Mdk/CL are testing a backported patch, 
and people who really never stressed about it all get an upgrade for 
doing Nothing.

Herd membership is nice while the herd's still moving.

And since EVERY distro does the backport dance, you think folks'd've 
figured it out by now, eh?
