Well, in my personal opinion, that should probably fall into the
category of "Here's the gun, try to only hit one of your toes". I
don't think we necessarily want to spend any effort to full test and
feature such kernels.
Of course, I am open to convincing arguments, but I'd like to hear
them come from the kernel team, ideally.
Well I hope so, given you have to sign them up for a stable release and
they may simply refuse :-)
