It looks exhausting.  I was never inclined to get a Debianized
kernel and that thread reinforces my inclinations.  I am motivated 
to know what's running and reject things I don't need or want.

kernel.org works for me.

Backporting from a higher rev kernel into a lower rev kernel and
advertising it as though it's really the lower rev kernel is deceptive.
There should be a warning label B-).  I call for .gov regulations.
