True, but I don't always stick to the "released kernels."  gentoo
makes available a number of offerings that include patches (such as
the low latency series and other performance enhancements) which are
relatively stable but not available for the XFS kernel.  For example,
I'm at a 2.4.18+ kernel, whereas the XFS offering is still at 2.4.17.

Picky, picky, but I prefer to play.
