Knowing how heavily patched the RH kernels are (!!), does anyone know if
there'd be impairment or malfunction running a stock + xfs kernel on a RH
system?

I guess there's really 2 separate issues: there's the big "ac-4" patch,
which doesn't play nice with XFS, and then there's all the rest of the
myriad bits and pieces RH has piled on.

Anyone got any good data/opinions/wild-assed-guesss about this? I'm just
trying to see all the options, and reducing complexity of the problem space
is one I'd like to have.

[Back in the days when I regularly had to rebuild the kernel (and libc-3/4,
and gcc, and ....), patches only came from Linus, and 100M was enough *disk*
for a system. :) So that's how out-of-date with it I am.]
