OK guys... There's no need to mention anything that's fixed in the tree |

currently. |

We're only interested in things that are *not* fixed. |

A release is a snapshot of the tree. If it works in the tree when we |
7 |
make the snapshot, it'll work on the release. |

While knowing about hardware that did not work in 2007.0 is helpful, it |
10 |
is best filed as a bug report, so we don't forget to check it when |
11 |
2008.0 rolls around. Also, that way we can track it. |

So, if your issue is hardware, please file a bug report. |
