Thank you!

True.

That's probably not the reason. The first reason is by far the most important
one...

I hope so too. You don't have to be a developer in order to do wiki work, but
it is very much appreciated. So anyone who wants to contribute that way is
very welcome!
BTW, I hope to be able to discover for which kernels the media_build actually
works sometime this week. I'll update the wiki once I know.
Adding it to the daily build will probably have to wait until after 2.6.38-rc1
is released.

Hans
