Close. Not everyone. For example, you do not think the process is
perfect.

I don't think Stefan meant the above as tongue-in-cheek, for what it's
worth. Another stable kernel with different rules really would be an
interesting exercise, and would probably fulfill a need for a certain
audience.

It's not like nobody does that already, anyway. For example, I hear
Fedora has a kernel that they maintain well for a different audience,
using different rules.
