It might be a good idea, though coordinating releases with the various
authors will be a bear. It wouldn't be something you could drop the ball on
and still hope to maintain an authoritative distribution. On the kernel
side, I'm sure Linus has to work hard to maintain consistency with the
various drivers by different authors.
Still, it is a serious pain in the neck for the average admin when one gets
a kernel integrated with all sorts of goodies and has to wonder where the
utilities are to make all of them work.
