If the stock kernel will never include this feature, the use of 
"specific" programs (with specific code) for the FC2 kernel is not a 
good idea.

If I write a program, I use #if solaris, #if aix, #if linux... and my 
program, from one source can compile/run on different Unix, now I need 
to code #if fc2, #if fc(X), #if suze, #if mandrake, #if 
mypersodistrib... if I want my program to run on different Linux 
distributions, because they use different "mods" kernel. It needs to 
have only "one" Linux kernel...

Best regards.
