I see 2.6.15-ck6 in the list of all patches, but was it announced? Or 
did I miss it? ;-)

ck6 was never announced. It had latest stable and the yield() workaround for 
swap prefetching but because I knew I was working on a better fix for swap 
prefetching I waited till I had that to release another version with it 
(-ck7).
