And, if you use it in a device, it's still totally unsupported and
insecure.  Seriously, does no one actually pay attention to the patches
I merge in the stable trees anymore?

Anyway, your other comments are good, glad to see work is progressing
well, and yes it's better than a 2.6.y based kernel, but really, that's
a low bar...

thanks,
