Uhm, these are development kernels we're talking about - they don't
necessarily work right (or even compile or boot in a couple of cases).
Things sometimes get broken in one version and fixed in the next. Your
clients should either know and expect that, or they should be using a
2.0.xx kernel. I mean, if some spelling changes send them off the deep
end, just imagine what would have happened if they'd run 2.1.44.
