I'd like to make a kernel, module and packages that are "experimental" 
and available to the SL users.  I've no problem hosting it, but would in 
general like to make it easy and available to everyone for testing.  The 
kernel interface between libc likely hasn't changed so it'll really come 
down to driver support and built-in options/bugs. etc..


Thanks
