Are you serious?

Outstanding problems with 2.1.129 (just those which have affected my sites
this week - Alan's and Andrea have more):

NFSd is still broken (I sent you patches, broken down for easy
digestion. Please let me know if you want me to resend
them, or if they are unacceptable please say why.

You don't explicitly mention that the 'UP Flu' is fixed. Was
that an omission in your mail or in the code?

ISDN has important bugs and is, I believe, now older than the
ISDN code in 2.0.36. Not only are there numerous bug fixes,
but the HiSax driver in CVS now has telco approval (for
certain cards), which is an important step forward.
It may be best to sync with them before 2.2.
