Hi,

I'm just curious about a couple of things that I cannot find addressed in
the FAQ or other docs (maybe I didn't look hard enough?).

- What is the kernel updating policy for SL? I mean, will SL4 (even 4.1)
stay with 2.6.9 for all of its lifetime? Or will it eventually get updated
to 2.6.12+ (when? how?).

- Why some of the drivers have been skipped in the compilation of the
kernel? For example the audio drivers ad1848 and cs243x have not been
compiled either as part of the kernel nor as modules, just skipped.

Maybe this is just what the original vendor does, but I couldn't find an
answer for that distribution either.

Thanks
