One shouldn't judge a book by its cover....This is a newbie list, If all people here are already competent enough to post high-end patches(though patching a kernel might not be a very huge thing in this world, given that there are more complex things in this world) ..then there would be not need of a newbie list.

Its always a good idea to keep learning and keep others motivated to learn... :)
