Let's not have a premature , uh, release..

In light of the recent buffer problems that have reared their head in the
2.0.31 pre-patches, I think it would be really bad PR to release yet another
2.0.3x patch with known memory troubles.

I'm getting the feeling that it is being rushed maybe a bit too fast and
even just a few days of more hacking/pounding/etc on the code, we can have
a very public friendly 2.0 kernel. :)

This also brings up another thought.. did the test suite for kernels ever get
off the ground? If so, is there a list to subscribe to , to get onto it? I'm
half-tempted to contribute to it..

It'd be nice to give the kernel a standard set of stress-tests (outside of make
-j and crashme) that really workout every major area of the kernel.

Just my .01 worth.. stock market just crashed, so I'm not worth as much anymore.
