It had nothing to do with press releases and more to do with the fact that 50 or even 75 out of > 10,000 is beans. Also, most of that stuff is in packages that are either unmaintained, or the maintainers are focusing efforts in other places. Having a bug report open for 2 months *should* be *plenty* of time for maintainers to fix their packages. Here's the thing, there are certain points when you just have to say that you're not waiting on a few people who aren't keeping up anymore. Would you rather us lower the standards (just like the US education system) for the few that are a bit slow? -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead x86 Architecture Team Games - Developer Gentoo Linux
