Hi,

I'm sure that all of this ext3fs etc. discussion is good,
but let me clarify:  I would be much happier if the kernel.org
main page and the finger_banner info were updated at the same
time that new tarballs were put onto kernel.org.

Now someone may say that this is still the rsync/load problem,
but from a customer perspective, it's bad.
