Only because the VM sucked bigtime in the previous 2.4.x kernels. I'm not trying to defend Linus, mind you, just saying that something needed to be done to fix it. You never know, Rik's VM patches for the -ac series might have never occured (or occured much later) if 2.4.10 didn't roll out with Andrea's VM. > Avoid anything after 2.4.9 for now I think.

Well, 2.4.10 works fine with ALSA for me, but it does seem to break the pcmcia-cs cardbus support, although I don't know whether that's due to my incompetence. All I can say is that 2.5 better start soon ...
