it really shouldn't make a difference. The focus of early test
is on a broader range of software, and on a wider group of users.
We've already made sure that the basic operating system works
across the platforms.
Any ultras that go out before the general release have to be in early,
so we will have testing on that platform.
Thank you for pointing out the possible problem. It's very helpful,
and sometimes we miss things.

:)I see that m37-312-21 through m37-312-36 are in the early cluster.
