This release has been pronounced perfect

It's one of those rare "perfect" kernels. So if it doesn't happen to compile with your config (or it does compile, but then does unspeakable acts of perversion with your pet dachshund), you can rest easy knowing that it's all your own d*mn fault, and you should just fix your evil ways.

Note the marketing prowess on display.
Sex sells, even if it's just an allusion to the "lookin' for love in all the ronngg places" variety.
Stand by for the premiere of 2.6.20 on YouTube, where Linus, speech slurring from too many milkshakes, makes a poopy joke at a puppet show while a cel phone camera is accidentally pointed at him.
