Probably more bugs will get found by the SuSE QA team in the next few weeks though, and that should help us. The one I am wanting to precede regarding shipping is Lindows where we will be the default. Reiser4 is pretty stable now, but if we got into the kernel now we'd have a few weeks of bug finding before they ship, and I just bet there will be a few bugs found as a result (not frequent ones, but....) that several of their users would be happy to not hit. The official kernel has the advantage of a far faster test and fix time cycle than a distro, and has more sophisticated users. The reason for features going into distros first is not technical, and sad. Hans
