I'm not sure what you mean, there. Are you saying there will be no more
2.6-WOLK releases, or only that we won't get intermediate working
versions=A0? I understand your position must be frustrating, but at the
same time, people who have come to rely on your kernels (like Yours
Truly, for instance) are quite out of luck=A0: I decided to upgrade to th=
e
2.4.20-wolk4.18 snapshot after the last string of PaX/GRSecurity
problems, and I had a hell of a time removing grsec 1.9.15 and painfully
merging the official 2.1.5 (which produces ~150 rejects on a 2.4-WOLK
kernel), then reinstating features that had mysteriously disappeared
(mostly netfilter targets, although I also decided to readd Vserver
1.3.9 in the process). It finally built OK in the end, but as I clearly
do not understand half the code, I'm most probably waiting for a bug to
bite me=A0:-/

Well, considering there must not be a huge lot of people able to hack on
kernel code out there, this isn't really surprising, IMHO. Anyway, if
you've really decided against releasing any more kernels, it would be
quite sad since the service you provided was very valuable, but I
respect your choice. Still, I would like to ask for a little favor=A0:
could you just put online the patchsets for the last releases (2.4/2.6),
so we could more easily upgrade individual patches independently=A0? On
your site, I can only find an outdated 2.6 patchset=B9 at the moment...
