NFS patch kit ?

["Dick St.Peters" <stpeters NetHeaven com>]

I make heavy use of NFS, and after upgrading to the 2.4.18 kernel I
had all sorts of NFS problems.  After enduring weeks of hangs and
crashes, I discovered that the RedHat upgrade kernel SRPM includes
Trond Myklebust's NFS patch kit, but the spec file %patch lines to
apply the patches are commented out.

After building a kernel with the patches applied, all my NFS problems
have gone away, at least so far.  That leaves me wondering why RedHat
doesn't use the patches ... what do they know that I don't?
