well, you were talking about linux-2.2.15 and the size of it. so it was
safe to assume you were talking about stock linus linux. :)

but the patches are against the stock kernels... i don't see the problem
honestly. You either:
a) use stock linux. in which case you can save download time by getting
the patches.
b) you wait for your vendor.
Or are you suggesting that Linus should have:
patch-2.2.15-RH6.2
patch-2.2.15-SuSe
etc.. etc..
:)
(of course the vendors could provide patches against their mod'ed kernels
but that's up to the vendor.)
