Well, OK, but taken with needing a separate kernel, it's a fork.  Forks
are about control.  But, in GPL world, forks are not always bad news,
everyone can have everything and choose the mix they like.  And for
customers, having multiple living images that can mix from each other is
just a flat out win.

Personally I have always been uncertain about OE being "best choice*",
that, but never mind.

| Mike, I think you'd make a great choice as handling a community kernel.

No no, it's an occupational hazard of being English that it's hard to
tell if we're being sarcastic.  I mean it, your code has been very deep
into the guts of the kernel and you can obviously handle it.

Problems debugging something like resume handshake management are the
extreme stinky end of the stick anyway, any code to penetrate the
mysteries of it is not going to be loved by anyone that didn't
understand the extremity.  It's just unfortunate current situation.

| That's nothing, they also have some core channel going on for "real
| insiders".

That's the excuse for the devel channel.  There isn't an excuse for the
other one.
