No problem. 

One newsitem with a different focus won't end the world.

Given that it is meant to be a review of the last month, you definitively
have a point there.  For the next month's news, I'll take more care /
have you confirm my extensions before publishing them.  Now it is too
late to change them.

Well, it's not commited upstream yet, and I'm afraid it won't until Xen
4.0 release (early 2010).

They are quite extensive - many thanks! 

The first part grew a bit too large, I think. I would keep "explore" out of the 
news. The Hurd also explored L4, but it can't be used. IMHO the exploration 
part would have a better home on a seperate wikipage about pcnet32 in 
userspace (which then should have a link in the news). 

Same information but more focussed on "this is what we accomplished last 
month". 

Best wishes, 
Arne

Thanks.  I applied my usual amount of extensions and modifications, had a
few people proof-read it, and made the result of all that official.

Note that this version has a segfault that is triggered when running
grub-install or grub-mkconfig. The 1.97+20091130-1 package fixes this issue
though, so I suggest to use that version.
