Well, then you have a strange way of interpreting things. Still
does not look like a snap to me (FYI: I was not the one to write the

What are you talking about? "Unlike you" is stating your opinion
for you? Get off it.

Survive it yes, but its ridiculous patching in a 407k patch by
hand. A bpl should not get that big.

An uncomfortable position? I am not following your logic at all. I
realize George said he'd backport and include the major fixes on his page.
But why even go through that? Just release smaller bpls. That would be
less work for all... unless you get uncomfortable with less work.

I never mentioned Cathedral anything, I take it you arenot
responding to me here?

Learn to control yourself better then.
