I'd much rather we released 2.2 with as few bugs as possible for obvious
reasons (teach Microsoft that it _is_ possible to release a fully working
operating system - unlike Windows 95 which was released with 4,000 obscure
bugs!), so keep with the 2.1.x tree until we've got all the problems
ironed out and all user space programs reworked to work/compile with
*both* libc5/glibc2. Many of these user space applications still don't
compile with glibc2 properly. At that point we can relax and work on 2.3
:o) Having said that, I'm pretty pleased with v2.1.109 - it works well on
16MB/32MB machines now.
