Okey. Now I know, thanks. I assumed that it was either this or that it had to follow the standard procedure of posting the mach-patch(/patchset) a hundred times to lkml before it got accepted.
(And regarding the distros: They distributors could just rip that part out while doing all their patches ;). And I know that at least mandrake has a positive look on xbox-distro. And the mandrake devels were especially helpful in porting their installer to be compatible with the xbox.)
Just to make clear: The patch does nothing that involves anything with the copy-protection. Not even the hdd-unlock. It is aimed to those who replace the bios in the xbox with the clean microsoft-free cromwell-bios, which has the sole purpose of booting linux.
