2.0 - memory deadlock, caps lock deadlock. 2.0.31pre7 fixes the memory deadlock
or seems to. Also poor interrupt handling performance degrading the entire
system scalability

2.1 - great interrupt handling, better scaling, soon SMP scalable file system
stuff (its already mostly there). Negatives - development code, far less
stable
