Short of using a CVS server, tagging each kernel build as a separate
branch, or posting a diff along with each kernel, that would be
impossible. I agree that a release kernel (:= kernel binary used in some
distribution) should have a corresponding diff and .config - demanding
'show me the source' in each case where someone posts a kernel someplace
would be asking too much, in my book. YMMV; I don't post kernels anyway;
I'm going to shut up now. Thank you.
