Thanks for this - I was unaware of it. I stand by what I said, though I do understand the issue of lack of support for newest hardware. Maybe we need the option of a "release and a half" periodically but in this instance, I think we'd need to make it clear that this might not be quite as supportable. If anything, the thing that gets you is non-free firmware - WiFi cards and the like where the firmware really isn't available yet - some very recent Realtek chipsets, for example.
