[WBEL-users] RE: WBEL3 respin2

[Graham Purcocks]

I think Respin 2 is more important as it has been a long time coming and 
SATA drives are everywhere now. WBEL 4 is new and IMHO will need a bit 
of shakedown before I deploy (RHEL also). So although I'm sure its going 
to be a good release its less important I think.
