But which version was each user running last? Did they create the
source from the latest tar ball, from a tar ball plus n patches, from
an earlier version plus the last n patches? I think the way Changes
does it is right, it tells you the *minimum* level of external software
you should have, how to check the version and that you should check the
version "before thinking you've encountered a bug!". Anybody using
development kernels should do this as a matter of course.
