I contacted him directly after tracking the problem down my only
question was backing out (which was answered)... I am well aware of
the drawbacks of tracking stuff so closely but since I don't have time
to do coding I have decided to do my best to be a early real world tester.

There are some hardware issues that are only fixed (not completely so
I might add... some of them are still using yet to be committed
patches) 8-current.. also since I am attempting to learn everything I
can about OS development tracking 8-current so closely defently helps
me understand the process better... an other reason is I can deal with
the occasional downtime as long I know how to backout of stuff (which
I didn't learn to last night) so I would like to be in the camp of
"yes I know it" before it is even offically out.
