If 2.6.20 is in good shape otherwise, I think it would be beneficial to push
2.6.20 into testing so we have an updated kernel there sooner rather than
later; I know the SRMs are itching to have a kernel update for etch r1, and
having a newer kernel in testing is a prereq for that, plus the sooner we
can get linux-libc-dev into testing the better IMHO.

This does require one more round of kernel new processing anyway for alpha,
so I guess my opinion on whether we should have another upload of 2.6.20
depends on how long folks think that NEW processing would take vs. how long
getting 2.6.21 into a testing-worthy state will take.
