They don't care *now*. They will care when they try to rev forward from .19.
Not that they'll care a *lot* - it took *me* all of about an hour to get VMware Server 1.0.4 working under -rc3-mm2. Probably will take an enterprise distro 4-5 hours, 30 mins for the port and 4 1/2 hours for the paperwork. :)
