I was just irritated by the fact that Vincent said '2.1r3 is supposed to be
compatible with 2.2.x kernels' and the fixed ftape-source for 2.2.x
compatibility is rejected because 2.2.x compatibility is _not_ enough to
get the package in a point release. It's confusing, isn't it ?

What's the railroad to me ?
I never go to see
Where it ends.
It fills a few hollows,
And makes banks for the swallows,
It sets the sand a-blowing,
And the blackberries a-growing.
(Henry David Thoreau)
