Since the problem of moving versions only appears during the development phase
of a release, not once it is released, this is indeed no problem at all.

Please go ahead and try to do a beta3 netboot install right now, it will have
trouble since we can't have 2.6.15 or whatever it was, and 2.6.17 kernel
modules in the archive at the same time. Not easily anyway.
