Sure; if it makes sense to the submitter. In this case, I *think* I've gotten to the bottom of the original design intent, which was not to provide a link to the "newest version of 2.x," but rather to provide a link to the "newest recommended version you should run if all you know is that you want something called 'Python'." -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
