I think that's a different case. There is a big difference between a newer version of the same program and a totally different program with fewer features. Still, I understand the motivation for the change and I am in support of it. I'm just worried also. Perhaps I'm a needless worrywort. But all the attention does seem to have been focused on one specific case--Debian packages--and not the others. Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
