: Given the limitations of what is available to us, I don't see an urgent need

: earlier kernels into the mold is more likely to be an exercise in
: frustration than anything else.

I'm not sure what the problem is - I have no intent or interest in recreating
all the steps between releases, but we have all the released version of the
kernels. So what's to prevent from getting the first one, checking it in,
check in the second release, etc.? What's so hard about that?
