We (the -stable team) are announcing the release of the 2.6.23.15
kernel.

It contains a number of bugfixes all over the place, and all users of
the 2.6.23 series are encouraged to upgrade.

I'll also be replying to this message with a copy of the patch between
2.6.23.14 and 2.6.23.15

The updated 2.6.23.y git tree can be found at:
        git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.23.y.git
and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser:

thanks,
