	Even in the -unsupported RPM?  They package (IIRC) the
"unsupported" modules in a separate RPM so you can play but a default
install won't have 'em.

	OCFS2 1.2.whatever should build against older kernels, shoudln't
it?  It tries, for sure.
	Yes, I can understand you are grumpy, but it's non-trivial to
make the new kernels work.  Well, it's trivial to make the new kernels
work, it's non-trivial to have one source tree that handles both new and
old kernels via configure.  It's a time constraint.  It will eventually
get done :-P
