The reason I ask is because I have a major bug (well major for me and
any other person with a via-velocity card) that will be fixed in 2.6.9
release.

No, FC3 will not wait for 2.6.9 .
This does not mean FC3 will be not released with 2.6.9 .
9:19 a.m.
When is 2.6.9 due to be ready?

The standard answer for any question like this: When it's ready. Linus
will release it when he feels it is ready to be released.
On the other hand, the fix for the via-velocity problem is probably
already in the rawhide kernels:

The fixes for the via-velocity driver are not in the redhat kernel
.... I made this post to get this visability ...so that if FC3 goes
out without 2.6.9...these fixes do make it into the redhat kernel.

I know this is the official policy, but somebody got some clue when they
probably arrive, yes?
Wonder what Linus is up to. 2.6.8 series was (is) really buggy, and then
he uses a helluva lot of time to get out the new ones. I really wonder
what is going on.

It won't take too long, as we're currently at 2.6.9-rc3. I guess, we'll
have a 2.6.9 release very soon (I'd say 1 or 2 weeks at most).

Well, I hope FC3 comes out with 2.6.9, but I rather have an updated
kernel for Fedora 2 to be able to finally record CDs withut being root.
This is in serious need of fixing, I imagine that "sorry, you can only
record CDs if you're root, and I'm not going to give you the root
password" does not go well with users.

Worse, the current kernel-2.6.8-1.521 has the aweful DMA bug that makes
it impossible to record audio CDs.

Or you make cdrecord setuid.
"You must be root" is infintely preferable to "any user can erase your
drive firmware".
Linus appears to be doing 2.6.9rc4, and thats likely to be 2.6.9 final

Once upon a time, Alan Cox <alan(a)redhat.com> said:

IIRC there was a recent BUGTRAQ notice that there were security holes
found in cdrecord when it was setuid root. Have these been fixed in the
Fedora version?
