Yeah something will need to be written up about migrating over.  I
believe that udev needs to be the defato standard for the 2.6 kernel,
so we will need something to help the noobs and well everyone migrate
over.  Waiting to 2.6.9 is fine, and I think also once we get there we
might need to stop updating to rc kernels everytime they are
released.  Is that planned or are we still going to be seeing rc
kernels?  If the linux-2.6 module is going to be stable then I would
strongly suggest that we stay with the stable kernel.
