This is probably just the first of many test cycles tho... if .15 doesn't
get in the door this time, you can always get it in the next one. I'm
also against releasing with any known security holes, but I also think
it is probably too expensive to abort the test. Unless it can be postponed
for a very short time, say 4-7 days. There's still abt. 12 days in front
of May 2 tho. Maybe there's still time to get the kernel with its patch in?
