Why do we need a 1.2.14 kernel?  2.0.0 is a great kernel.

Cos 2.0.0 has a pile of bugs, 2.0.4 has less sure. 1.2.14 is still way more
stable that 2.0.x, as its the result of a years fine tuning.

See http://www.uk.linux.org/NetNews.html for the network bug list in 2.0.0 if 
you are not convinced

All I see there is "fixed in 2.0.x, 1 <= x <= 4". It does give the
impression that 2.0.4 is superb, so it's an argument against "1.2.14",
not in favour of it!

2.0.4 just hasnt been out long enough to find them all. We have 2 still
left in 2.0.4 so far, both very non serious.
