11 I will be committing 2.4.22-hardened tonight. However, I am no longer the
12 hardened-sources maintainer (and haven't been since around 2.4.20). This
13 kernel is the work of Phil West (as was 2.4.21). And to be honest, I should
14 have had this committed earlier - sorry for the delay.

16 This should fix the bugs that we've seen with 2.4.21 (and hopefully not
17 introduce any new ones). Keep in mind this is still in a 'testing' phase, and
18 there may be issues still unaddressed. We'd appreciate any feedback from
19 those of you who are running it.
