Most people don't adopt .0 releases. 5.6.1 was just released. Most of us who maintain large software deployments have a lag time of *at least* six months for picking up a new release of software. I know you like preaching doom and gloom, David, but you're several parsecs displaced from reality here. (And Perl 5.6.0 has been in Debian testing for a while, for that matter.) -- Russ Allbery (rra@stanford.edu) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>Thread Previous | Thread Next
