For the kernel stuff, I need to wait until it lands. This looks good for
making 2.6.38 which would make F15. If it doesn't then I'll continue to
wait. (Fedora is fairly strict on using upstream for kernel stuff except
where they have dedicated people as for video drivers.) (I may build
some personal kernels with the patches so I can test live images more
completely, but I can get by with testing squashfs-tools independently
for now.)

For squashfs-tools, a mid January release sounds plenty fine. It could slip
a lot and not cause a problem. I have some time off from work coming up next
week and will get a 4.2 prerelease (fromCVS) into rawhide next week so we can
get some testing there.

Thanks!
