Eric, Everyone,

Yes we know about this problem, the code that generates the numbers on 
the front page is really quite ancient (and thus any assumption we had 
back when it was written is anything but the same now) and we have been 
working on getting it updated.  However there has been a lot going on, 
Fedora's recent excitement, Linux Symposium, OSCon, etc and work on this 
has been disrupted and scattered - I.E. I haven't gotten very far on it 
yet :-(

I'm hoping to get back onto it next week, but please bear with us while 
we try and get it all sorted out and try and get the code into such a 
shape that we can actually cope with the ever changing idea of what are 
'latest' kernels are now, and going forward.
