This isn't important now, but I was thinking maybe we could add and
entity for the kernel series. That way, the note would always stand
about updating to the most current version of the series for security
fixes, etc. Something like
<!ENTITY linux-series "2.6.16">
Which obviously translates to "Update to the latest version in the
&linux-series;.x series..."
