If you prefer helpful posts, then may I suggest:
- using a real name while communicating with us
- searching the archives before bringing this topic up yet another time
- reading the Release Notes
- sprouting stuff like "if you followed this to its conclusion then you would
stop distributing most binaries." which I can't find to be very productive.

Debian is the only distribution that packages kernel source as binaries, IIRC.
