For me to be satisfied that the code is stable, the rewrite with go
faster stripes is less than four weeks old.

For more arch maintainers to convert 2.5.8/arch/$(ARCH) to kbuild 2.5.
i386 is converted, I am working on ia64, Tom Duffy is working on
sparc64, Greg Banks is working on superh.  I would like patches for
ppc, s390, alpha etc. as well but will go without them if necessary,
they can catch up later.

Then I will contact Linus.
