Re: linux-libre updates, timeliness

[Yasuaki Kudo]

Sorry, I meant to ask really a simple question because I just wanted to understand LinuxLibre.   😄  There is an explanation here:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux-libre

But I was intrigued, that it felt like a situation where a vegetarian would order a pizza from a restaurant that doesn't offer a vegetarian option so he has to painstakingly remove meat from it, while it would have been better if the cook could make it without the meat in the first place 😄  

Is above a fair analogy for the Linux Kernel?

Cheers,

Yasu

If you are asking if linux-libre is slowing down the process of updating
the kernel for Guix users, the answer is that it's not a significant
delay.
