Thanks for explaining it. BTW, it seems that their (freemangordon and colin.stephane) patches to kernel-power are always here:
http://bigbob.fun.free.fr/maemo-kernel-power/

I by no means expert on this, but it seems that changes fit project purposes, they're definitely more on bleeding-edge (especially compcache).

I also totally agree with your idea of starting proper announcement thread, if title of this one can't be changed. Especially, that You're going to revert back to version without call distortions, so, probably, thread won't be bombed with report about this for n pages.
