1 some heads up here

3 glibc-2.7 has sat in ~arch for much longer than i would have liked. the only
4 real issue holding it back is nscd. i never use this thing myself, but on
5 some arches (like ppc), it's known to eat your cpu like a dirty C-globbler
6 (where C is short for CPU). on other arches, it's known to just cream itself
7 for fun and then promptly exit.
8
9 glibc-2.8 is supposed to be out soonish, and if nscd insists on continuing to
10 be a pile, i'm afraid of having to just dump in a bunch of reverts. nscd in
11 glibc-2.6.1 seems to be generally OK.
