Definitely. This and the /cdrom mount bug.

This is perfect for now. I'd rather see the RC bug out of the way so
things can actually move forward. Once the linux-kernel-headers are
fixed, we can just get rid of the hack and be done with it. I'd like to
try and clean up the RC bug fix as well, since it's not as clean as it
could be. I'll see about applying some of the other patches that have
been languishing in the bts for a while.

Ok, that's true. I'm more than happy to keep it alive for the time
being. I'll contact the progeny people and see about some kind of
transition plan as well.
