Kernels available here are explicitly NOT official Red Hat kernels. These kernels are for testing and/or experimentation. There is absolutely no guarantee that any patches present in these kernels will actually be made available either upstream or as part of any official Red Hat kernel.
For testing! Testing of patches by users helps to ensure a better and more stable kernel.
Your testing and feedback is greatly appreciated, desperately requested, and graciously accepted. Thanks in advance!
