that, and it would be nice if they'd actually get patches sent in right...

for instance, a *long* time ago, i sent in a *very* working patch
to get kernel profiling happy...  (context diffs, which should
have applied 100% cleanly, even...)

well, it turns out that when it got integrated, it was mangled to
the point of not working...

that happened with at least two or three of the diffs i'd submitted...


c'est la vie...

who's off profiling a different system, now...
