I understand this is a good thing.

No, no, I am not worry about the project disappear, I just
wondering why distribution is not in the form of kernel patches,
so it will be more flexible on deployment. For instance, the
OpenSSI 1.9.1 use kernel 2.6.10, I think. Now let's say there a
feature in kernel 2.6.13 that I just have to have, how can I use
OpenSSI with kernel 2.6.13?
Of course I can create diff of original kernel 2.6.10 and
kernel-ssi 2.6.10, or kernel 2.6.10 and kernel 2.6.13, then use
it as patch. But somehow it feel more certain when the addition
to the kernel (OpenSSI) come as patches.
Thanks!
