Excellent.  Is there a general way to map from upstream errata kernels to 
centosplus kernels?  The (apparently??) previous convention of suffixing 
.106.unsupported to the upstream release number seemed to work well, and I 
don't want to either guess or take up mailing list bandwidth asking every time 
upstream revs.

Ooooh.  That would be cool.  I'll look into it.

Thanks again.
