if memory serves the last time it was an entirely one sided plea from
the users that fell on the deaf ears of the then IPO rich redhatters.

tried that from 6.0 to 6.1... very painfull way to do it; and in the
end I missed a lot of stuff.

this may be the kind of thing that we the users have to put together.
There's a great system out there called faq-o-matic, that as near as I
can tell from the outside allows ANYONE to add an entry... perhaps if
we can get someone to put up one of these systems somewhere and get
everyone who finds a change to submit all the pertinent info to it,
then when it REALLY releases somebody update all of them to say they
came from the beta and we tag them back to normal or append that they
still exist in the real thing or whatever....
p.s. REDHAT: PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! Pretty-Please with sugar on top?
hmmm... maybe too late for my sanity, but maybe we can save Tony?
