18 Please be careful with 2.6.20. I don't know how many
19 people use hardened + shorewall (or other iptables
20 utility) but they could very well have major network
21 issues as there have been netfilter module name
22 changes.
23 Shorewall 3.4.2 is ready for kernel 2.6.20 but isn't
24 in portage yet.
25 And even if it does go in it won't be marked stable
26 before kernel 2.6.20.
27
28 For the same reason, if any other *-sources-2.6.20 is
29 marked "stable" then I'm pretty sure the forums will
30 be flooded with network issues unless all
31 netfilter-related applications are updated into
32 portage.
33
34 Please correct me if I'm wrong.
