What is this? Why another patchset/patched kernel?

Using Linux since years, very tired of there are not really good
patchsets available which adds many stuff like this. Saw FOLK
Patch/Kernel which is still very very buggy.

Inspired by:
 jp-Patchsets from Joerg Prante <[e-mail]>,
 jam-Patchset from J.A. Magallon <[e-mail]>,
 shawn-xfs from Shawn Starr <[e-mail]>,
 aa-Patchset from Andrea Arcangeli <[e-mail]>,
 mjc-Patchset from Michael J. Cohen <[e-mail]>

The WOLK's are development kernels/patchsets for testing purpose only.
!! If you want to use it in production, use it at your own risk !!
Their purpose is to provide a service for developers and end-users who
can't be up to date with the latest official stable kernels/patches but
want to test many features out there linux can use. Maybe, (hopefully)
some of them will be included into the mainstream kernel 2.4 soon ...
... Greetings to Marcello at this point ;-)

There will always be a new WOLK major release if there is a new final
kernel released. Minor releases only if someone/me found critical bugs,
or in case of some adds.
