What was disappointing is that nobody hit the warnings while > it was in -mm, but only when it hit Linus' tree. It was found quite quickly though. Fedora rawhide tracks Linus' -git trees on an almost daily basis, and this change blew up the installer, so it wasn't hard to reproduce :) ddcprobe isn't something that a lot of people run on a daily basis (probably just the installer people, and they never see -mm kernels), but I'm surprised that vbetool didn't get spotted when it was in -mm, as more and more people seem to be trying out suspend/resume these days. Maybe suspend was busted for some other reason at the time it was in -mm, so people never got that far ?
