[Lustre-discuss] 1.6.5

[Jim Garlick]

My lustre/ChangeLog for 1.6.5-RC2 says:

       * version 1.6.5
       * Support for kernels:
        2.6.5-7.311 (SLES 9),
        2.6.9-67.0.7.EL (RHEL 4),
        2.6.16.54-0.2.5 (SLES 10),
        2.6.18-53.1.14.el5 (RHEL 5),
        2.6.18.8 vanilla (kernel.org)
        2.6.22.14 vanilla (kernel.org)
       * Client support for unpatched kernels:
        (see http://wiki.lustre.org/index.php?title=Patchless_Client)
        2.6.16 - 2.6.22 vanilla (kernel.org)

Is there any particular reason why the 2.6.18's were removed from your copy?
