Yes definately.  With the newer distributions with gnome included there
is no point.  With RedHat 6.2 it served a purpose, but it broke last
time I tried to use it anyway, and it makes a nightmare out of upgrading
redhat.  Ximian is useless at best at this point.

It's nice to have the latest 2.2 kernel (since that's what I use), but I
don't need an archive of all the old 2.2 kernels, and I'd ditch 2.0
completely.
