Hi Andreas,
as I've mentioned above, I understand that releasing every RC isn't
possible at this moment. You make a great Job and I didn't want to
disturb :). Howewer, releasing more things to public in 10.1 release
cycle sounds like a very good thing.

Ah, ok. I always thought that kotd is much more bleeding egde and
experimental than the stable kernel in RCx and final. I thought kotd
will follow every new version of vanilla-kernel and every included
patches while kernels like 2.6.13-8-default and its not released
successors are for stabilizing a fix snapshot.

If it's possible, I would like to get the recent hal and powersave
packages (because of bug # 116445). I submitted a bug some hours ago
which is very important für me (#118157), but currently it's not fixed.
If it's marked as fixed, I will mail you again, is it ok?
In my opinion, RC1 is doing very well, so I think the most other changed
packages are not affecting me.
