No, I'm not, but I don't have trouble compiling kernels (or anything
else) with 2.96, so maybe not being a programmer is not so much a
liability.

OK, let's just say 'thousands' then and not quibble over the exact
number. The *fact* is that many people of all stripes do do this
without incident. 

In fact, with a new system, one of the stress tests I run is a kernel
build in a loop overnight. This has never failed on various machines
with 2.96. After running memtest overnight first though, of course.

The "large number of the rest of us" is mostly slashdotters who have
never even used it. Most that do, have no problems, hence the FUD
alert that someone else posted. I really could care less which
compiler you use. Just don't spread untruths in a public forum. 

I don't doubt you are having problems, but I think you are looking in
the wrong places for answers. It is not helpful to place blame
indiscriminately.
