This is a question/suggestion and not a gripe.

The recent kernel & kernel-source updates are straining
repository bandwidth, and woe be to any poor dial-up
users out there.

For the kernel-source, would it be possible to issue
a patch instead of requiring the full 39MB download for
each kernel update?

Thanks,
