Nitpick:  You are not seeing a "tag" in a CVS sense.  This is just the 
kernel version string.

Status:  We're trying to get some last issues ironed out before the
release (such as the READ_BIG problem some people had experienced on ATA
CD-ROM drives).  I'd say that we were a little optimistic about how long
it was going to take to get these done.  There's been a little 
discussion about these on the qa@ list, for those who are interested.

(Most of you are aware of this, but until you get a PGP-signed email 
from the RE team on announce@, it's not "really" a release, regardless 
of what the kernel version string or CVS tags say.)

Bruce.
