Maybe it does what you need, and you are one of the few who know not to complain, when it doesn't. But how about the newbies that have just heard of Ion3, and 'apt-get install ion3' gets them an old unsupported version that doesn't work for them? It's them whom I'm concerned about -- and they do exist. And, as has been mentioned, the upgrade path from the version in sarge -- that also should never have been there -- to the newer releases is not straightforward. There are also going to be incompatibilities between even those releases and the stable ones. Do you want to spend time rewriting your configs once again, when the stable ion3 finally hits a stable Debian, years from now? Do you like not being able to use any new scripts in the ion3 scripts repository, because they will not work with your old release? The megafreeze just doesn't work. -- Tuomo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
