ok.

By distro I am assuming you mean enterprise kernels. That is always
a pain to document. I have tried to keep the tools mainline centric.
Enterprise users have a user's guide as the reference.

I think this will sort itself out as ocfs2 in enterprise distros is closer
to the mainline kernel.

The other option is not to mention the version. But then we hurt the
non-enterprise users for whom we have no other docs.

Sure. That will work.
