My impression was that you were supplying systems your clients.
If they're doing it off their own back, then you need to educate
them about the risks of using development kernels. Otherwise they're
going to be *really* unimpressed when we next get a kernel with
filesystem corruption.
If they want ot use development kernels, so be it, but they shouldn't
be complaining about them being buggy or breaking from release to
release.
Quoth the Kernel-HOWTO:

This is getting a bit off-topic for Linux kernel now...
