In general, patches will only be issued for stable point releases, 1.0,
1.0.1, etc.  Otherwise, it's just a CVS snapshot, which may or may not
even compile or boot.  


Bottom line: if you want stable XFS, use the point release patches, if
you want cutting edge, use CVS.  CVS is currently at 2.4.5.
