+Well, I consider glibc to be a critical base component, so I decided to
+stick with a stable 2.14.1 release atleast for now.
+
+Since 2.14.90 is the "unstable" becoming 2.15, but I dont the planned
+release schedule, and I dont want to ship Mageia 2 with an "unstable"
+branch.
+
+As for the fixes you have done, there are atleast some interesting ones,
+but I wanted this one out first with "minimal" changes to try and keep
+it stable.
+
+Now when there is a solid base the other changes can be reviewed and
+done with small steps so we detect any regressions :)
