Well, it is pretty stable. The main thing is it hasn't gotten any bug-fixes, either. Of course, you've probably also worked out any bugs that you had with it long ago. > You know, we (as an example) are in the middle of a commercial venture, and > we update, when an update is > _required_ , not when it's nice to have... Well, it'll never be "required" since it is open source. However, "upstream" (as in the catalyst developers) are moving forward and we will stop offering catalyst 1.x within the next month. While you're definitely welcome to keep using it, consider this your notice to keep a local copy of the ebuilds and the distfiles. > I guess you know what they say about updates.

I mean, would we be on release candidate *50* if it hadn't? ;] -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead x86 Architecture Team Games - Developer Gentoo Linux
