Well, the original poster was expecting that (unspecified people)
would be doing this regularly (in fact he was complaining about how an
XFS bug fixed in RHEL wasn't fixed in 2.6.32.y).  I was explaining how
it wasn't happening, and it was perfectly acceptable for that to be
the case.

So I was actually *defending* Red Hat....
