Umm, if there's anything in the linux-athena packages that doesn't
work with the new libc, we want to know about it and fix it, not tell
people to avoid the new libraries.
I still say we should keep an old libc on Keesh, so that we don't
force other people to update their libc, but anybody doing a new
installation should definately use the newest
Slackware/Debian/whatever.
