Well, are you confident that your hardware-poison changes in v2.6.33 will not 
have any user triggerable bugs? It's a pretty silly question IMO because you 
can never be 100% confident.

What matters is for the changes to be sane and clean, for there to be no known 
regression and for any reported bugs to be fixed speedily. Which Frederic is 
doing in an utmost excellent way ...

Thanks,
