Unfortunately, the kernel is one of those things that ends up being
built until the last minute :/  There should be time to build module
packages for it, though as there aren't any module packages on the media
making things a smidge easier.  Dave is probably in the best position to
do a "heads-up; this is hopefully the final kernel" mail when we're
there.

This should be a bit better now that davej can tag the kernels himself
which should keep things better synced.

/pub/fedora/linux/updates/7 (and it looks like the wiki page got updated
for this)
