Hi Steve!

I don't think the vote has been *officially* called yet.

Looks like this one should be now fixed upstream:
    http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-0560.html

Thanks for the pointer, though. I've started a wiki page to record
this type of information:
   
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/BIGTOP/List+of+known+issues+on+various+platforms
Hopefully it will not grow too long ;-)

On both of these point: personally, I'd love Bigtop to take a page out of
Ubuntu's book and have a ratio of LTS-type releases (where we support old
and stable) to ongoing type releases (where we support new and sometimes
bleeding-edge at the time) being 1:4 or something like that.

Thanks,
Roman.
