As far as I know both versions are released. What I said was
"undistributed," by which I mean: the required version of MPFR is not
on my relatively up to date Fedora system.
It also missed the openSUSE 10.2 schedule (which has the old version
with all patches). So I don't like rejecting the old version at any point.
