The latest one I know of is for 1.3.14. I don't know if it works with
1.3.15 though...

I second this. I know why they didn't go in 1.2, but from reading the
latest quota ChangeLog it looks like there is some progress... Some
of the changes quoted below:

Now that we have the 1.3.xx development kernels, integrating the quota
patches shouldn't be a problem, and then much more people would test them
to make sure they are 100% bug-free in 1.3.96... Just call them ALPHA
for now (like some drivers) and don't enable them by default. Why not?
Right now I'm running 1.2.11 (with my patches), up 35 days on two machines.
I will try the new 1.2.xx quota patch after a crash or power failure :-).
