+A big difference is that kernel needs more test, but flash plugin can
+
+still use 32-bits to work. It's in cauldron so we can do more test and
+
+maybe report to upstream/make our own changes. You can't stop at 2.6.38
+
+for long, the development of kernel would continue, and more testing
+
+would do good to us and other user in other distro.
