 Sorry, it looks I didn't notice your message in the pile of spam which was
waiting in the approval queue and deleted it by mistake. It certainly
wasn't intentional, it's just that there were ~100 spams in the queue after
my 4 day absence...

 This has happened only twice (including once in the very beginning) during
7 years so it's not a frequent occurence -- even if, unfortunately, I can't
say any more that it has never happened.

 Normally a released version is not supposed to contain any fatal (in the
sense leading to data loss) bugs.

 Considering that Mahogany releases happen once a year or so I don't think
such a scheme would be really practical.
