The kernel fix is known upstream; implementing it requires kernel uploads and installer rebuilds, which it's just not possible to fit in between the release candidate and the release. We will certainly want to include this fix in a kernel update as soon as possible after the release, but this is unfortunately in a class of bugs that we can't fix the week of release (even turning timestamps off requires a kernel upload, unless we want to permanently disable tcp timestamp support for Ubuntu 8.10). FWIW, we don't consider any of the issues docuented in the release notes to be "minor"; the release notes are the authoritative place to find information about the /major/ issues affecting a release. The technical overview is, in fact, much lower profile than the release notes at release time. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
