We have discovered that the 5.2.4.3 patch files do not apply cleanly to
the 5.2.4.2 code base. This has been a problem off an on through the
years, so we have been considering enhancing our tool chain to more
thoroughly vet the generated patches. As far as we know, however, there
were only two maintainers who are using the patches to produce patch
releases for their distributions. At this point, one of the two
maintainers (Greg Tourte) is no longer using the patches and the other
(Tuomo Soini) is willing to change his workflow.

Are any other maintainers using the patches to generate patch releases?
If not, we may decide to stop releasing them or to continue releasing
them, but for informational purposes only.

Thanks,

-Tom
