   If there are no problems reported during the next 4-5 days, and if it
passes my stress testing here, then yes, there is a chance of it going into
-stable. I normally wouldn't consider something like this, but the fixes
are too important - many of the cards being produced these days have 21041
chips on them, and the old driver often didn't deal with those right. I'm
expecting 2.1.5 to have a significant longevity, so I think support for
the newer cards will become increasingly important down the road.
