Probably, but maybe not. If we put 2.0.36 into slink as an alternative,
could we organize an informal texting group to pound on it a bit and see
what cracks? If the results are that it doesn't crack too much, then
perhaps we could/should install the potato package into slink and make it
the default kernel, providing the old possibly if someone needs it?
Would this be a reasonable solution?
