Quoting Russ Herold from the article: Nothing in Red Hat's new approach prevents a person from running a local version-control system, containing the pristine kernel at point A, and the Red Hat variant which we might call point B. Then one runs a 'diff' in that version-control system between A and B, and starts reading the diffs to see what is happening. Over time, both the pristine kernel, and the patched Red Hat versions will vary, and one will get a sense for which 'diff' parts matter, and which are cosmetic cleanups. This actually sounds labour intensive. From the Centos mailing list, Johnny Hughes writes: That is not to say I like the changes, as it will have impacts ... but as long as they only do it to the kernel, it is not a big problem. http://www.linux-archive.org/centos/497467-will-centos-become-obsolete-now-because-changes-red-hat-implementing.html http://www.linux-archive.org/centos/497467-will-centos-becom...
