Very funny.
Now, can we return to leaving that for the user/vendor in future releases?
Please?

I'd suggest reading a linux-kernel or an archive site, and pulling Al Viro's
2nd patch for 2.4.15 inode.c problems.
2.4.15 has the potential to corrupt your filesystems slightly on reboot.
Al provides a safe method to reboot without this corruption, but it will
still be a good idea to force a fsck on boot, using:
shutdown -F -r now

*Slightly* corrupt? Isn't that like being *a little* pregnant? :-)

user/vendor releases are made by the distributions, not
by Linus/Alan/Marcelo (who release developer versions) ;)

Thanks to those who wrote suggesting this greased turkey doesn't fly.
It's back to .13 for me.
Fortunately I hadn't actually rebooted.
