Kernel maintaining is not easy (as probably those who done it know) , the main effort of the kernel is to satisfy the needs of the users/developers hardware and features. it's not about vanilla and or not vanilla it *HAS TO WORK* and must be maintainable in a reasonable amount of time, thats the real thing of a kernel. If something breaks it must be fixed or removed, plain simple. (my opinion)
Ugh. Man. I don't know how to say this any different that the last 40 times I said this: we're not talking about bug fixes. Bug fixes are fine and expected. We're talking about miscellaneous feature requests
A maintainer of a package, who does the real work on it, reads bugreports, looks for fixes, tries to get a better package than others and tries to add userfriendlieness seems to not fit to the arch philosophy anymore, should probably do something else.
If you say it must be plain vanilla as kernel.org is, go ahead do it, but without me.
Are you saying that you do not wish to maintain the kernel? That's fine - no one is forcing your hand, and I'd be willing to do it in your stead.
