Just to be clear on this, if someone feels it is worthwhile and wants to
step up and do the work, it can't just be someone who will send patches to
change the current kernel and leave. It has to be someone willing to sign
up to maintain the solution in the rawhide kernel. Modules change, get added
or removed, and/or have deps change pretty much every single release. 3.7
just moved the nat modules. This is why we are saying that it is much
easier to do a different build of another flavor than to split out the
modules into more subpackages.
Head nods to both of you. I'm happy to live in reality rather than utopia
and this is helpful feedback.
