To Kernel, or not to kernel :-)

[Qiuli Han]

Hi

I would say rewrite the script is a better choice since compile a new kernel
and make it work will cause many problems
a) new kernel will bring new hardware and maybe software problem when it is
solving some old problem since it is not the "official kernel" with the
release
b) it takes lots of times to put the new kernel into all the machine u
mentioned
c) you will face many problems/issues beside kernel
d) if you rewrite the script, you face less objects than the kernel option
