You have a good point, we've been talking about creating a STABLE2 branch that's equivalent to the RHEL5 branch except follows upstream kernels. (Same way the RHEL4/STABLE branches worked.) We're hoping to wait a while longer before doing that, though. A little more discipline about what's checked into HEAD will make HEAD as effective (for now) as STABLE2. Dave
