Well, it seems pretty clear that we'll be encouraging users
and distributions who want to get really good general USB
support to be using at least 2.4.x, anyhow. I was just concerned
since 2.2.x will have a larger installed base than 2.4.x for at
least another year (my guess). That means that any good stuff
we can push down into the 2.2.x kernel will make a big difference
for users who have locked into the older stable kernel.
