Thing is, there are enough o us who patch/mod/etc. that we don't actually remember what the stock firmware would be like. I've not used stock firmware since the patches came out. I've patched most firmware I've installed. Last time i ran stock firmware was sometime in the version 3 releases.

So if a question comes up about the stock firmware that needs someone running it to answer, a lot of us may not be able to help. Also, sometimes the answer is to install some software or patch. I've seen a number of questions such as, How do I do that? And the answer is to mod/install/patch because stock doesn't do that.

A frequent question is how do I reduce the wasted space in the header/footer? Patch is the answer.
