modified in a few cases, although this is the pain when we have a
single kernel for all the different products.

Do you think that the average user with a clicking sound card or disk
corruption when suspending would be able to make the link to this new
package?

We shouldn't paper over the cracks. I've seen that again and again and
it just stops being maintainable after a few years.
