There was no final decision if we ship 2.4.27 with sarge.

If you now build and upload linux-kernel-di-alpha 0.62 with 2.4.27,
you have to build 0.63 that downgrades linux-kernel-di-alpha back to
2.4.26 if we don't use 2.4.27 for sarge. 0.61 can't be used for sarge
because it was built with kernel-source-2.4.26 2.4.26-2.1 which has
some security problems which were fixed later.
