Incidently:

(Although, I'll freely admit, even if it was there I would have missed it
as I didn't look. I would have seen it if it was at the beginning of the
Makefile though.)

Damn right. Seriously though, this is one hell of a storm in a teacup,
and I can't for the life of me think of a good *reason* why everyone's so
upset about it. Yes, a mistake was made, but so what? - this is -CURRENT!
When mistakes are made we fix them and get on with life - not go
thermonuclear. Second, the major bump was unfortunate but in the grand
scheme of things it makes no difference at all.. 'make world' will resolve
it, so there is no urgency.
C'mon guys, we're supposed to be here for personal enjoyment! Life's too
short as it is and there are nowhere near enough hours in the day..
Cheers,
-Peter
