So there is going to be a continuous flow of patches to add support for 
new distros (Arch Linux, Slackware, Linux Mint, SuSE, Debian, etc etc) and 
if different versions of a distro handles things differently then you are 
also going to deal with that? Might be fine, but it just sounds a bit 
scary to me to try to support m different distros, each in n different 
versions from the kernel... Couldn't this somehow be done once and for all 
in a distro neutral way?
Just asking :-)
