which will be valid until someone decides to teardrop his servers, and then
he will have a hard time compiling a fixed kernel if they crash his machine
every 5 seconds unless of course he cuts the netconnection which might not
satisfy his customers ;-)

I would personally advise everyone to upgrade. The vfs bugs in 2.0.31 are
just bombs lurking to explode, and every box with a net connection is toast
without it.
