[Gllug] Major corporal damage to the Kernel?

[Peter Rutherford]

As a major league newbie I am most puzzled by a
comment 
in a rave revue of Redhat 9 in the Linux User Magazine
(UK).

On page 63, column 1, the author says " ... the Redhat
kernel now 
diverges appreciably from the stock kernel which may
give some 
headaches ... "

Surely the strength of Linux is that the kernel is the
exclusive 
territory of an Enlightened Benevolent Dictator,
arguably the 
ideal form of government.

Doesn't this mean that, for the greater good of all,
ordinary folk 
can't tinker with it?
