ompelling reason not to. :-) In the interest of full disclosure, in the original ITP, David Moreno Garza <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> asked why I was including the version number in the package name and I gave a reason. In retrospect, the reason wasn't really valid. Thanks! -- Jay Berken

uldn't rely on someone having done that. Anyway, changes to stable are definitely in a different category from changes to unstable My opinions should, of course, not be construed as "consensus" since I'm definitely a newcomer.
