Yeah, that's the quandry. The solution, IMO, is to kick out a stable release at least once a year. That way stable is never more than a year old, and then its age isn't an issue. potato was ancient more than a year ago when I first tried it, and woody still isn't out. In fact, woody has been "soon" for the past year. Fortunately the "soon" sounds a bit more realistic at this point. aj: give woody a good kick (out the door) for all of us, please :-). -D -- The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, turning a man from the snares of death.
