Thanks.

Nothing fancy is needed - it would be sufficient to use the most recentl
major release (2.6.15, 2.6.16, 2.6.17, etc) in your daily operations and
report any problems.

I made a note of this in the changelog because with some of these drivers
nobody has the hardware - if someone decided to do some maintenance work on
this driver it could be useful for them to ask you to regression test their
changes.  They'd ask something like "please install 2.6.18-rc2 and let us
know if it breaks".
