I still feel this is something Andreas put there some time ago....
I suspect Distrowatch may have picked this up from the posts here on the dev 
lists - they are, after all, open to all. We have always gone for open 
discussion - which means that all posts to this list are available to all. 
Ladislav, the guy who runs Distrowatch has posted on here before - and of 
course, he is welcome to do so :) So perhaps that is where Distrowatch got 
the information. It would seem logical - the message on there appeared after 
the posts on this list.

I suspect Tobias is busy with his move currently, and will be unable to get 
involved in attempting to sort this out. Likewise, I suspect Andreas posted 
the message in the ftp server some time ago - and probably forgot all about 
it!  
Although Andreas is no longer actively involved in Yoper development, he does 
take an interest in what is happening - I would not like us to point fingers 
at Andreas - or any other person - over this. I honestly believe it is 
nothing more than an oversight. I am sure there was a reason for the message 
being there - maybe when the Yoper server was moved, or something similar.

It is rather annoying that it has appeared on Distrowatch at this time - after 
all, we are gearing up for the release, However, I suppose Open Source means 
exactly what it implies - that we do not hide what happens on Yoper, even if 
it is a little frustrating!

Hopefully, those involved will be able to explain a little more about what has 
happened - but until then I guess we need to just assume this is an oversight 
from some time ago.

Mark
