The main idea is that once a tarball is placed in an "official" download location, it should have the support of the PMC behind it, and thus a vote. This is to avoid people downloading it, using it, and considering it as "really released" when it really isn't :)
However, 5.5.17 is noted as BETA so I'm not *that* concerned about it :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
