I'm aiming for one release per kernel release to get new stuff
out in time for testing. Unfortunately we're already way behind,
so I'd prefer an earlier release than 2.6.25. My feeling is that
the current -rc works well, so if nobody is aware of any big
issues, I think we should release the current version in a few
weeks when 2.6.24 comes out.
