Aug 2012 is only 6 kernel releases or so away....

Presumably the whinging is so we start tracking down the offending userspace
and getting it fixed before 2012 gets here.  Sticking the warning in just one
or two kernel releases before it becomes official leads to "I can't run the new
kernel because my userspace isn't patched yet".  We really can't win here,
we don't whinge and stuff doesn't get tracked down and fixed, we do whinge
and that gets people upset too.
