	Very good, and not a moment too early (Years late according to some 
users ;)

It will require us to shape up some on the distribution side, hwoever 
thats minor issues and just forcing us to kick ourselves in the butt and 
make happy evolution.


Does the preferences simply bail out if kernel.minorversion < 6, or does 
it show options that won't work?  I'm thinking of something like the 
floppy formatter without a floppy drive in the system.
