What I will NOT do:
Waste my time with tracking 2.6.22-rc regressions.


We have an astonishing amount of -rc testers, but obviously not the
developer manpower for handling them.

Hey, if I know enough to help, I would. But since there's so many more
talented developers, I can only contribute by testing. Without your
help, I would not have gotten STD/STR working on my notebook for
2.6.21-rcx.

We need definitely need a more robust system.

Thank you,
Jeff.
