How do you know I haven't? Point of fact, I have. This thread was not about the specific bug fixes not yet available in a -RELEASE. This thread was to question the reasoning behind obsoleting 6.2 so very quickly. It's a policy issue, not a single bug report. It has more to do with the "X results" column in a PR search than any single one of the entries. -- Jo Rhett Net Consonance : consonant endings by net philanthropy, open source and other randomness
