Now that the 2.6.34 linux kernel is about to be released, does anyone 
know if 2.6.33 is going to make it into the final Lucid release, as 
previously suggested?

Why this is important:  2.6.33 has better support for SSD storage 
(http://www.h-online.com/open/features/What-s-new-in-Linux-2-6-33-933312.html).
I'm already at the point where I'm only going to use SSD disks for 
future desktop systems which mount data storage from another machine, 
and more and more of our users laptops come with SSD storage rather than 
a traditional hard disk.

It would be a terrible shame to release a LTS system which no one wants 
to use in 6 months because it wears out their (still $$) SSD's too quickly.
