Do we really NEED (read: _require_) the 'latest and greatest' (or whatever
kernel is 'latest and greatest' at freeze (or whenever the release team
decides to choose which kernel to release with)!?!?!?
Also have a bunch of SPARC32's running, and I'd like to continue to run

keep running sarge "for the remainder of it's life" - I have no time or
resources to keep compiling the whole dist myself).
