There doesn't seem to be a separate list (unless you want to wade through
the CVS commit logs). My approach has been to install 2.1.5-release, sup
2.1.5-stable from my local archive, 'make world', transport to customer and
integrate (simple reconfiguration) into their network.

All five of my internal "mission-critical" servers were built this way and
several of my customers'. I have very few problems with this strategy since
the hardware gets "stress tested" at the time of install rather than when
the customer goes to use it. More problems are caused by "pilot error" than
anything else :-(
