If it does, report it downstream or upstream respectively. As answering people's questsions, it may be hard for people to get help, and the best answer will sometimes be, "this could be happening due to your custom kernel, because with custom kernels X can be different." Such an answer is helpful and I see no reason for us to prevent people from getting it. Sometimes the issue is unrelated and they'll get an answer that solves it. But yeah, it seems s/he had no custom kernel. | |
