Help Needed: 4G/4G Kernel Testing

Regarding the 4G/4G testing, is there a RedHat position on this? I
definitely have a problem with suspend/resume on recent 2.6 kernels. I
haven't actually seen the 4G-disabled kernel binaries - they were
removed as quickly as they appeared and with no explanation.
Some RH people seem interested (wtogami, nphilipp) and others are
closing bugs* (arjanv) when there are still reports of problems. OK I
pasted a log that showed my wireless drivers giving warnings, but the
basic kernel without X and the offending modules still hangs.
I can assure you there is a problem. I am compiling a 2.6 kernel with
4G/4G disabled to see if that helps. So long as my poor machine doesn't
cook itself I will soon know the answer.
Even with unsubstantiated claims of 10% performance cost, and some
actual problems, the current kernel is stopping some people from testing
things like SElinux... so I hope this can be sorted out soon :)
