17 Don't waste any more time on 3.0.9. It has a problem with inserting
18 modules and will be removed from the tree in a few hours. Play with
19 hardened-sources-3.1.1 which will be there in its place. I'm testing it
20 now.

22 As an aside, please don't use ~arches on production system because part
23 of the testing process is seeing what feedback I get from the community
24 on those kernels. Only when I've heard nothing bad, and run a kernel
25 myself for a while, do I mark it stable.
26
27 So I encourage people to play with ~arches in non-critical environments
28 and let me know. But do expect the occasional breakage.
