OK ... I should not have sent this e-mail.  It was totally immature and
I apologize.

I have been doing a lot of work trying to get CentOS 5 usable for FOSDEM
and I was in a bad mood.  Still does not make it right.

My comments about not forking the code still stand though ... we would
introduce other potential problems if we release code that is not
upstream ... and centos does not do that unless the package is totally
not usable or compilable.

If the bug issues do not exist upstream then we will work to fix them,
if they do exist upstream then we can't do anymore than research them
and submit a patch to fix, if we can figure it out.  More often than
not, these issues are carried down from upstream ... but sometimes they
are not.

If someone can show that under the exact same conditions (on the same
box) a centos kernel exhibits a problem and the exact same version of
the upstream kernel does not, then I can promise you I will do my best
to fix that issue.

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes
