If you are aware of problems along these that you can confirm definitely occur with 7-STABLE checked out no earlier than 17 March, 2009, please drop me a private e-mail with a pointer to the thread, PR, or a reminder that you've sent me the details already. If you don't have a PR open on the problem, opening one and forwarding me the receipt so I can grab ownership would be most welcome. I don't promise I can get them fixed by the release, but doing a review and prioritizing the bugs that are known is a useful step in that direction. I am specifically not interested in device driver-related problems, not because they shouldn't be fixed, but because there's only so much time in the day and it appears folks like Pyun have it well in hand :-).
