It was no offense intended from my side. I'm totaly aware what we got  
for free from you and your team. I was only wondering way my short  
poking around revealed two kernel panics without any esoteric  
configuration/load involved. So i was wondering if i try to upgrade  
too early or if no one is using the RHEL6 OpenVZ kernels seriously  
until now. The first panic is already reported the second will follow  
as soon as my test server has finished fschk.
