You do not need to edit (and possibly destroy)
work done and used by others, but I do not have any problem
with using the linux_2.6.25 recipe, except is is 2.6.25
and not 2.6.25.10.

The AVR32 should be updated to patch with 2.6.25.10 as well...

If you have a number of linux_<version>, some with and some
without support for your board, then it is harder to
get an overview which kernels are supported.

Drawback would be if you lose out on interesting features
added by others by using a proprietary recipe.

Very few machines seems to use the vanilla linux.
Is there any move to merge current boards into vanilla linux_<version> ?
