I'm sure you're right, John.

My concern is not really this specific issue, rather the fact that 30 minutes 
worth of testing after upgrading kernel revealed two significant changes in 
the behavior of the system.

I had spent a lot of time testing the prior version, on several different 
machines. I had clicked through and verified operation of every item on the 
menu, and felt that it was good to go. The kernel change sets the process 
back several steps, probably weeks worth of time.

I can see using Light Live as a test bed for the new kernel, but if so it 
needs to be presented as such, in alpha form.
