That is a completely unreasonable position. It is a requirement for those
of us working on a variety of problems to be able to use new kernels on
the "Enterprise" distributions in the market, as you have to be able to
compare regressions and performance. Swapping out all of userland just
because hotplug can't get it's act together is *NOT* an option.
