BL1 is based on a 2.0 kernel and libc5 (and is therefore
more suitable for really old hardware).  When I upgraded
to a 2.2 kernel and glibc2 (BL2), Chris said he wanted to 
keep developing the BL1 line.  He had some good ideas for 
making BL1 better:  adding support for non-English users, 
replacing the 2.0.34 kernel with 2.0.39 and using packages 
from Slackware 3.9 instead of 3.5.  They sounded like good
ideas so I handed BL1 over to him.

I didn't see any of those things mentioned in the BL 1.9
announcement.  Perhaps I missed something?

Cheers,
Stevens
