There is a security issue with 2.6.28.8 "Linux Kernel nfsd 'CAP_MKNOD'
Unauthorized Access Vulnerability"
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/34205/info
Users/admins using NFS should update.
This issue is fixed in 2.6.28.9 or 2.6.29. :-)

Our linux spell should be updated to choose for example LATEST_2_6_28 or
even LATEST_2_6_27 in latest.defaults.

Personally I don't have problem with 2.6.29:

$ uname -a
Linux matrix 2.6.29 #1 Tue Mar 24 03:48:53 CET 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
$ uptime
23:59pm up 6 days 18:37, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.04, 0.01
