Okay. I did not know that. Now I satisfied ;-). But, I think a "miss": the
webmaster of kernel.org could link the signature of all kernel files (?).
That is, could we have got something like:

The latest stable version of the Linux kernel is: 2.6.5 2004-04-04 04:17
UTC F V VI C Changelog SIGN

where SIGN links to 2.6.5 signature?

Sorry, but I think that the reference to signature page in kernel.org is not
of all visible. It's in a more low possition, I think.

Sorry for ask that,
Xan.
