Note that there is currently active upstream work to allow us to address
these issues - some of the patches are present in 2.6.27, others are
still in flight.  This is a vast step forward on where we were with etch
if we do decide to go down the route of releasing with exceptions again.

I don't think that's a particularly constructive approach to take,
especially not in a volunteer project.
