Might I suggest that it could go WITH, not INTO, 2.1 as an "experimental"
adjunct.
I would hope that there will be enough of a freeze in the release source
that someone like David could bring his source up to the release and
generate a final set of diffs relative to that tree for inclusion with the
release.

Along those same lines, I would hope that the CD could contain enough of a
framework to make it fairly easy to generate a custom kernel install
floppy. It would be a big win if we could offer the ability to build custom
floppies for unusual configurations (like those 4meg'ers that can't make it
under the wire) or the atapi driver that doesn't quite make it into the
release, but for which we might find a solution for certain machines.
