One option would be a "Linux Legacy" project, similar to the Fedora Legacy project that backports updates to old Red Hat/Fedora Core releases: a central service that'd collect bug fixes for released kernels that distributors could then base their kernels on. That way, we'd get the stability advantages of vendor kernels without needing to repeat the effort for each distribution. Maybe some of the distribution vendors might be interested in setting up something like this? -- Adam Sampson
