Its not perfect.  The hotter parts of the object database is almost

in the shared store offered by kernel.org admins, which means you
cannot get good IO buffering.  Back to the current set of problems.

Actually, as long as objects/info/alternates is pointing at Linus's
kernel.org tree, I would think that it should work relatively well,
since everyone is normally basing their work on top of his tree as a
starting point.
