Proposal: Linux "hit-list"

As I just read again about "floating point exception while executng
ps", I think we should add a file names "HITLIST" in
/usr/src/linux/Documentation that describes the features of the
recent changes that hit users most. Of course that file should also
contain some pointers to solutions. I imagine that the file should
cover the "hits" of maybe the last month.

It might solve the problems of users who just het a development
kernel from some "distribution"-CD, but who are not reading this
list.

What do you think?

First entries: "arithmetic faults in ``ps'' and ``top''" and "output
of ``free'' and ``vmstat'' is wrong".
