I have absolutely no opinon regarding this issue because I always
just compile a custom kernel. If you would like to effect change, please
either create a patch that does what you want, or at very least document
carefully and in detail what you consider the "bug" to be, and submit a
PR. Just talking about how things should be rarely accomplishes anything
around here. (Where "rarely" is so close to "never" that it actually
equals it for all useful definitions of the word. :)
Either way, please remove my e-mail address from the cc: line.
Thanks,
Doug
