You know where is this from, right?

The Community Seamless Software Update (CSSU) is being developed by the Maemo community as a continuation of, and expansion on, Nokia's update support.


I am not saying we should behave the same way Nokia did, but there are times one have to make choices. And if I have to choose between no more CSSU updates (because, lets be honest, we lack the manpower to change the -mp thing and transform it according to some better FOSS standard) and to make CSSU unavailable to a couple of people using some the-best-kernel-ever-made (while fixing the long-standing nasty bug in omap1) or don't like the exact color of a button in the resolution change dialog in nikocam, I'll choose the latter in an instant.

Seems their only options are: never again receive CSSU updates (when CSSU depends on a certain kernel), or get rid of whatever they installed.
Wrong, CSSU will not depend on a particular kernel, but on a kernel feature, patches are FOSS, so anyone can port them to the fancy kernel he uses and stay compatible with CSSU
