I'll have a quick word with Linus; I'm sure he'll be only too happy to
pay for it. I think Arcade Fire as the band and a troupe of dancing
penguins to add geek appeal ;-)

Well, I mean, it's not like it's *different* from the previous kernel or 
anything...

Sure, there's probably a few internal differences. But from the outside? 
Can you actually tell if a machine is running the old version or the new 
version? No. So why the fuss?

What fuss? We're secure enough in the reliability and stability of our
OS not to have to make a song and dance about it. It's only commercial
pressures that require M$ to try and bullsh*t the average user that
external_show=internal_novelty

  For some reason OpenSuse has the policy that they never upgrade the
kernel (nor gcc) of a given distro to the newest version. They only patch
the official kernel of that distro with security patches. Updating the
kernel (or gcc) manually is always At Your Own Risk (tm).

  Why would anyone want to run linux on an UltraSPARC? AFAIK linux still
doesn't get even close to Solaris in scalability...
