misc@, www@, tech@ (though kinda pushing the lower-limits of good
tech@ posting, but DOES include a diff, unlike all the bad tech@
postings :).  I'll discourage sending only to me personally, on the
grounds that sometimes I get busy and sometimes stuff falls through
the cracks when that happens. :-/

Tried to figure out why that "issue" came back, but realized that the
fix for 4.6 came AFTER I had created upgrade47.html, and I forgot to
push it to 47.  Ooops...  (why I stay out of src/ ...)
