>>By the way what is the major motivation when you all updated from 
>>2.4.xyz to 2.6.xyz?   Sorry, off topic!

- trying to get the libraries to be compatible with some newer applications
- hoping some bugs might be fixed without breaking too much
- setting up a build system to build inferno binaries that would work with 2.6.x without LD_KERNEL_...=
- manual/automatic updates to `commercially supported' systems (eg, Suse)
- a desire to live life in the fast lane
- ecology: i wanted to help conserve more tlb entries
