If 2.0.working is coming out soon, the modules system should be being
used by more people generally, especially cluless ones like myself, so
here's a small suggestion for a patch to the readme (against pre2.0.4
because that's what I've got up to so far)

- keep a backup kernel handy in case something goes wrong. This is
especially true for the development releases, since each new release
contains new code which has not been debugged.
