Well, but is it built and working for all arches ? My powerpc packages last
time i tried where not upto it, and not everybody likes to run experimental.

Which is in experimental only, not build on powerpc and other arches, and
riddled with some initrd/initramfs problems that will be solved this week.

An upload of 2.6.14-rc4 should happen in the next week, to experimental too
though, but soon after that to unstable if all goes well.
