If you have a problem in 2.2.2ac1 verify you can duplicate it
with 2.2.2 before posting general bug reports if possible. Make
sure it is obvious if a bug report is about -ac1 to avoid any
confusion.
Definitely let me know if you have any ac1 specific problems.
Don’t bother Linus unless 2.2.2 unpatched also breaks.
This one like Linus won’t build on Alpha. I’ll try and rectify
that for ac2.
