Just to let people know, I was running 2.6.23-rc for over 53 days
without any issues. Mix of SCSI, Sata, tape drives, disks, MD, LVM,
SMP, etc. I suspect we've got a pretty darn stable release coming out
soon.

I've been running rc8-git3 since it came out, and while I've built git-5 and will build rc9, I probably will continue testing until I find a bug or have to boot for some other reason. Running really well, even with a lot of kvm stuff going on, kernel builds for other machines, etc.
