Neat.

This RHEL5U2 kernel is too late for 1.6.5 which is already in QA and
being tested.  Don't fear though, as long as the testing of it pans out,
our 1.6.5 release will be made with OFED 1.3's kernel-ib RPM and Lustre
built with it.

Interesting to note however in that Changelog we posted here:

We don't list the RHEL5 kernel at all.  I believe that is an omission.
I will look into it.
