1. The critical bugfixes will go in via v2.6.38-stable anyway,
2. The ARAnyM/NatFeat support will be in v2.6.39, which may be a
sufficiently convincing argument for the Debian Kernel Team to accept
it in Debian's v2.6.38,
3. If there's anything left that you really need, please tell us, so
"we" can get it in a good shape for v2.6.40.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
