Now that Pierre fixed lirc for us (neither tpowa nor I were able to do it due to time constraints), here is the signoff for 2.6.33 and the related modules.
Please sign off, so we can finally move 2.6.33.
The current kernel has several issues. One major are NFS lockups. A fix is in the stable queue. This is a stopper to me. Beside this it has sound issues on my notebook introduced by the MSI changes. It also has KMS issues related to MSI. The KMS can be solved by using UMS or boot option pci=nomsi. There's a new stable release review just going. Grek has 156 patches in review. I think we should wait for 2.6.33.2 and maybe even longer. There's no need to hurry. Moving the kernel will also force us to move mesa/libdrm for new nouveau and ati drivers. -Andy
