So, 2.4.22 is coming very soon and I have to arrange how the future 
development of WOLK will go ahead. Also I need some help again to merge big 
things because I don't have the time I spent with WOLK in the past.

Important things:
-----------------
- PREEMPT
- RMAP
- GRsecurity v2.0
- vserver ctx17a or 18 if it's out
- non-X86 arch testers/maintainers
   Current WOLK works on x86 and I am not aware of any success reports for
   other arches. This _must_ change in the future.
   I _need_ testers/maintainers for this, because I 1.) don't have any !X86
   arches around and 2.) no time to do this also. My main interest is in
   X86_64 and ppc64.
- Netfilter IPv4/IPv6 Addons (well tested and working patches only)
- Minor: There's still no decent homepage. No html designer around?
- _____________ (add something here / Personal wishlist :))

This can be merged when I have the first -pre1 available with O(1) and such.
It _must_ be merged in the order above.

Fortunately many things out of current WOLK won't appear in 5.0. ACPI, 
AIC7xxx/79xx, CryptoAPI and many other stuff were merged.

Okay, who's with me in the WOLK5 run?

Many thanks.

P.S.: I won't merge NPTL backport from 2.6. 3 reasons why:
	1.) There's a O(1), NPTL, §/($/( other stuff patch in Redhat
	2.) There's no NPTL-only patch (bad bad Redhat)
	3.) It won't work with grsecurity!

ciao, Marc
