I just wanted to point out that the Linux kernel has recently
(in 2.6) changed to 2.6 being less stable, and the linux distributions
are responsible for picking a "stable" kernel they're happy with.

I think that this actually reflects the idea that the best way to get
lots of testing is to get testing versions into distribution, so people
don't have to compile it themselves.

As such, it would be nice (for me, as a Debian user) if a svn commit
triggered an automatic build of a Debian package. I'd love to add it
to my sources.list so my laptop gets the latest version every time I
update it. ^_^

Alternatively, if the Debian maintainer (or someone else) uploaded
CVS versions to Debian/experimental, that would also be nice, _and_
would get UIM's subversion head tested on Debian's array of
auto-builders.
