Actually, now that you mention it... I'm not entirely sure where I 
picked up that term some ill defined long term memory tells me that 
vanilla should be a term that is applied to official ftp.kernel.org releases

I'm not sure if that is an offical term to describe kernel.org releases, 
or just a slang, I picked up, hanging out with internet wierdos !
