Kirvin "Clean and Simple Plus" kitchen withdrawn

[luv2chill]

I am locking this thread. If Jeff Kirvin or anyone else here would like to create their own ROM kitchen for the Apache from scratch and put their name on it, feel free. But don't take someone else's work, make a few changes and call it yours. Don't be fooled people, that is all Jeff did here.

I personally have put in countless hours making tweaks and changes to the kitchen, but do I call it "Luv2chill's Amazingly good Apache kitchen"? No, I don't becuase I didn't make it. Making changes to something does not give me or anyone else the right to call it mine.

Also, we are cracking down on this because it just has the potential to get out of hand. For one, it makes troubleshooting a nightmare. I personally have had several people ask me for help with "the kitchen" (both via PM and in the chatroom) and only after troubleshooting for a while do they admit that they were using "jbabey's kitchen" (which, again is not jbabey's kitchen at all but a bastardization of helmi's kitchen).

Having one kitchen at least gives us some kind of constant to use whilst troubleshooting all the very many variables that can come up.

There is absolutely NO NEED to have more than one kitchen. Everything Kirvin did (had he bothered to document it) could be done with correctly-designed OEMs, along with a batch file to make the file system and page pool modifications.

You should also know that over a week ago I notified Jeff that releasing his "own" kitchen was not OK, and he acknowledged that and agreed not to, only to turn around and do it anyway without any notification whatsoever. Seemed to me a pretty crappy thing to do.
