Extra features
+
+ Always aim to get patches merged upstream. But many big features
+ that users want added are not merged upstream for a long
+ time. Kernel team expects features to be upstream first, then
+ backported.
+
+
+ But there have been exceptions:
+
+
+ -
+ OpenVZ and VServer - mostly reimplemented with cgroups and
+ namespaces
+
+ -
+ Xen - now upstream; Linux 3.0 is a useful dom0 kernel!
+
+ -
+ aufs - needed for Debian Live
+
+ -
+ PREEMPT_RT - gradually being merged upstream; new option in
+ amd64 packages
