«As we continue to enhance Picasa, it has become difficult to maintain 
parity on the Linux version.» Which, of course, is to be translated as 
follows «Some beancounter estimated that it might cost a few extra pennies 
to update, so we, in our poverty and great need, felt constrained to quite. 
Thank you and good night and God Bless whatever....»

Oh well, by this time most of us do know how to install and run the latest 
Picasa versions for Windows via Wine and those who don't can always seek 
help here - *id est*, until this group also becomes «deprecated», as the 
phrase goes....
