This is not correct.  The 'stable' branch is not Oracle Linux specific - it is
merely the branch that is up to date with the latest released version of
DTrace.

At this point, the changes that are specific to Oracle Linux are primarily
build system related and a single case of needing to deal with a discrepancy
between the UEK kernel vs upstream kernel as a result of some patches that
were backported.  I think that just mentioning which RPMs we build and provide
is sufficient here.

I would separate these last 2 lines from the others and put a line before them
pointing out that we provide RPMs up to 2.0.1-1, and that building for OL7 has
been deprecated.
