Thanks Alex. We don't control the platform; someone else controls it. We are expected to "just work" regardless of the environment. I don't disagree with you about the upgrade. But I would be pissing into the wind if we followed the abondonware development model. The mailing list and bug tracker would fill up with fodder for those not using the latest distros. It is easier on us to support the platform properly. Jeff -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] To contact the owner, e-mail: [email protected]
