Quoting from <http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=2hhl0l%2494r%40klaava.Helsinki.FI>:
"In short, the next version of linux (0.99.15) will be a "full-featured" release, and only obvious bug-fixes to existing features will be applied before calling it 1.0. If this means that your favourite feature or networking version won't make it, don't despair: there is life even after beta (and it's probably not worth mailing me about it any more: I've seen quite a few favourite features already ;-)."
