i'm assuming you mean 128069 since you failed to mention what bug you're 
actually referring to

ha, i doubt it ... the code snippet i referred to in readline is not even 
close to being the same thing as SLOTTing

if you're referring to the comment you made (which you should have just posted 
in the e-mail instead of telling people to go find some random bug):
Because it's not safe here, stuff can continue to link against the old 
libexpat ABI. Again, read the backlog before posting yet another comment 
here.

revdep-rebuild will rebuild applications in the proper order which makes this 
comment irrelevant
