I don't neeed to send in bug reports, there are plenty on l-k
right now:

- LVM is currently broken in 2.6.9-mm1
- the RTC and NMI code have a race condition between them
- NFS mount won't accept a FQDN over 50 bytes (patch was
sent and utterly ignored, then recently reposted)
- cdrom driver thinks non-mt. rainier drives are capable

Are you saying people who encounter bugs in 2.6.9 should wait for
2.6.10? ...and when they find bugs in _that_ release they should keep
waiting? In other words, Zeno was right after all?
