Oh, Steve, one thing that completely slipped my notice previously. The topic
should be Update to 2.6.32.16 stable kernel. The 15/16 notation was something I
only did once or twice when I used one tracking bug for two stable updates (when
the second update was just a single patch to fix a hot issue).
