Given our naming scheme this question is moot. We put the release label down with the intention to have the sources constitute the official release and with the (inside) knowledge that we can still relabel. Therefore the label doesn't mean anything. It's the announcement that marks the release and it's the announcement that gives meaning to the label (ie the sources identified by the release label at the time of the announcement). Come to think of it, it does suck :-) -- Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 marcel@xcllnt.net
