To me removing the option for checking is like self-cheating and trusting the Debian version is always the latest. As a user why should I trust the debian maintainer about that? :) And as the debian maintainer I'd like to be notified by the users if I miss some release [0], so really don't see the point of removing the option. regards, [0] Already know the watch file would warn of this on PTS, but that resource not usually checked by users, a menu option is more quick. -- Ricardo Mones ~ The three principal virtues of a programmer are Laziness, Impatience, and Hubris. man perl
