I agree; at this point 2.6.16.x looks ideal. I stress "at this point" though; we of course shouldn't make this decision irreversible. Especially if, as Sven noted, Andrew Morton decides to maintain a .17 or .18 in a similar manner. -- dann frazier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
