That conversation was in April. As Tom said, 185 does not have the
patch to deal with ext2-filetype and thus will not work on a new
install with freshly formatted partitions. If you have a 2.2.x kernel
on your 185 disk, then you put it there, because it comes with 2.0.37.
If/when Tom patches the kernel on his disk, I'll start using it again
myself. But, it would be unprofessional to provide a rescue disk that
will not function for the vast majority of installations.
FWIW, there was a similar conversation on the list during the Oxygen
beta and the reasons are still valid.
