I guess I did not write that clearly. Where's my Diet Coke?

I intended to suggest that the 2.2 info be moved to one part of the
document, clearly labelled linux 2.2 related. Once moved, it could be
labelled with an topic specific staleness date. As in "Linux 2.2
information last updated 22 March 2002." Also, specific problem areas
(as Chuck pointed out) could be labelled as out-of-date.

I don't have a good sense for that. The only 2.2 kernels in my
environment are embedded in devices such as tape drives. And we don't
use our tape drives as either nfs clients or servers.

I'll guess the number is decreasing both absolutely (as people upgrade
Linux) and relatively (as new users install more current releases of
Linux).
