If we want all the ncurses-based apps to use the same version of ncurses, yes. I'm not sure if we have to, though if I were the release manager, I wouldn't release 2.1 before all ncurses-based apps used the same version. 2) Are we really going to freeze slink in 7 days? Yes. I see that 1) and 2) don't mix very well. That depends on what type of changes the release manager will accept into frozen. Brian, could you please state what your plans in this regard are?
