I agree. I happened to run into the warning just recently myself and came to the same conclusion.

And it's not likely that anyone is using such old prototype hardware for anything mission critical... --david - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlReceived on Thu Jan 27 17:16:48 2005
