This is my bad. I was comparing all the files and backported plenty of
new for the old releases. `manifest.inc` had wrong stability, since due
to someone's badly made script (I presume, since all the manifests had
the same in trunk all the sudden were very badly formatted) I copied and
pasted it from a place I had already been reformatting it.
I changed the version number, but not the stability.

I'd say that a longer-lasting solution would be to release a MidCOM
2.6.3 with `$data` fix. There are anyways some issues with the current
stable MidCOM and we can't only speed up in the future and let the
bridges break behind.

I will do this first thing tomorrow morning. I deleted now the wrong
release.
Ah, changing the stability could be so much easier. I'll add this to the
TODO list of MidCOM PEAR server, which is slowly starting to shape up.
Some of the features I plan to include are
* Pending releases
- If user doesn't have (yet) privileges to create a new release
it will be pending for an approval; a message will be sent to
the package lead
* Counter
- We could get to know how many and what versions of packages are in
use
* Changelog
- Using the documentation/CHANGES file I could parse a changelog;
using SVN commit notes might be a bad idea, since they can be very
varying and not for the greater public any way - especially when
developing a new component or major features
There were also some other ideas I wrote down, but I left my laptop in
the office so that I wouldn't work at home. ;)
