Anyone trying to do a git-bisect to identify a kernel regression.

(You upgrade your NFS server from F19 to F20 and your network adapter
stops working.  You suspect a driver bug, so you try installing the
kernel from F19.)

And it's closer to one year than two.  When gss-proxy's a little older
I'll agree.
