Whine? I don't think I whined. Nice attitude. Anyway, are you also going
to liase with slackware, debian, trinux, suse, caldera, stampede, etc.?
If you do, great--but dumping that kind of workload on somone else who's
working on this on their own time is unjustified. And saying that Redhat
doesn't have a responsibility to track what they put into their
distribution is stupid. If they don't, who does?
