So none of the patches looked scary to me, but then, neither did earlier versions. It's the testing that worries me most. Pretty much no developers run 32-bit any more, and I'd be most worried about the odd interactions that might be hw-specific. Some crazy EFI mapping setup or the similar odd case that simply requires a particular configuration or setup. But I guess those issues will never be found until we just spring this all on the unsuspecting public. Linus
