I'm certain that will be the case, for a generation or so on mostly
vanilla hardware ... the new raid controller drivers will "just work"
but won't be certified. But at the margins (more specialized hardware)
this will be dicey. That's my guess anyway.

I have not heard anything about that, either.

I wish there was a Novell employee or two that lurked on this list, as
Morris does on the ngwlist ... it would be good to occasionally be
able to get the skinny on stuff like this.
