As one of the (minor) device driver maintainers, I expect to test some of these versions (some of which may be unexpectedly radioactive) as quick as I can and I keep backs so my systems can be booted when a new version is unbootable (very rare now days, thankfully). This did NOT help that cause. Making life MORE difficult is not the way to get people to TEST things. > Jeff Mike -- Michael H.
