If we weren't on the edge of talking about what little things need
to happen before 5.2 I would be less concerned.
My biggest concern is that there currently a lot of people who
should be using 5.1.x but aren't because it is a development version.
For example I have had the alignment problem in nic.c come up twice
now when it is already fixed in 5.1.x. That and there are some
drivers we can only support in 5.1.
