ob*so*lete
adj.
1. No longer in use: an obsolete word.
2. Outmoded in design, style, or construction: an obsolete locomotive.
3. Biology Vestigial or imperfectly developed, especially in comparison
with other individuals or related species; not clearly marked or seen;
indistinct. Used of an organ or other part of an animal or plant.

Maybe, but I don't think the definition is an accurate adjective for the
stock kernel.  

At any rate, simply removing the commented lines concerning updating the
kernel in the repo files fixes that problem of upgrading the "cripelling
yum configuration".  That should take you less than one minute.

Then downloading and building and installing Asterisk in the regular
fashion fixes any zaptel issues.

Takes a several minutes depending on the machine you are compiling and
installing on.  

Not the big deal that Cohen makes it out to be.

Thank you,
