om2008.8 <-> om2008.9 issues

[Tobias Schoel]

In Germany, ASU is the abbreviaten of "Abgassonderuntersuchung", which
translates to "Special Exhaust Gas Examination". This Abbreviation is
commonly known among car drivers. So I don't think, we should come up
with a German interpretation of "ASU" for om2008.x.

And don't make it to complicated for the people new to
Openmoko/Freerunner. Just call by its most common name, which I think,
would be 2008.8, 2008.9 and so on. After all, there has to be an
explanation site, for all possible names for the different
distributions.
