Yeah, the follow-on to Cambridge we're currently planning to be a short
cycle with the 2.6 kernel in it.  Nothing is constant but change itself,
and there are a lot of unknowns here, but that's the idea; there will
be other change besides the kernel (we had originally thought gnome 2.4
but with that in cambridge that changes) but there's a lot of userspace
integration work to happen to make 2.6 kernel use smooth as well...

So I'm not committing to dates for it, just giving the current
thinking for the schedule driver.  We're still watching and participating
in 2.6 kernel stabilization...

That goes beyond what I'd want to say -- we haven't planned that.
