My impression is that we all should install uBoot from the 2007.08  
update announced by Sean:

http://buildhost.openmoko.org/snapshots/2007.08/images/u-boot- 
gta01bv4-1.2.0+git8993e54b6f397973794f3d6f47d3b3c0c98dd4f6 
+svn20070819-r0.bin

We can then flash older rootf/kernels (if we want) without major issues.
I have done this and seen no (new) problems with this uBoot version.

Maybe, the core developers should have sent some announcement
"[ANN]: new uBoot available - recommended for installation for all  
device-owners so that everybody has the same basis to test"
