A lot of new hardware is supported in the newer kernel so it is a
difference between being able to install and not, especially on x86_64.

Which brings up a topic, should WBEL stop bothering with respins of 3.0
when RH ceases install support in Oct '06 since it is doubtful they will
add new hardware support after that and it will become just a case of
avoiding the long update process?  How many new installs of WBEL3 would
likely be happening by then?
