Heh, yes, I think we are in agreement. The "fun" thing is, people take
the thing you release and do development on it. So the developers want
the output of your release in a format that they can do work with.
I talked with Geert today about this, and he gave me some ideas for how
to make the output of the LTSI tree in a git tree that people can work
off of. Much like I've started to do now with the stable trees, and the
-rc git tree of patches built from my quilt series. I'll work on this
over time and see how that goes.
