Even if we've reported the bugs (and the fixes) for all to behold, it does not guarantee that they've been fixed in the new release. I have not yet checked 2.10.2, so I don't know whether this carelessness has stopped, but it significantly increases our estimate of how long it's going to take to put 2.10.2 up. If you've wondered why utzoo -- a backbone site -- is still running 2.10 (not even 2.10.1), this is why: it's a lot of work checking it all out, and we're busy. -- Henry Spencer @ U of Toronto Zoology {allegra,ihnp4,linus,decvax}!utzoo!henry
