9 As a newsmaster, I'm a bit concerned by this.
10 By viewing bug #182782 , it seems to me that only inn <=2.4.* is
11 concerned by this bug, and that >=2.5 does not have it.
12
13 But, if I understand this announce correctly, the complete inn
14 port will be dropped to oblivion.
15
16 Wouldn't it be better to stabilize inn 2.5 (there's even a 2.5.1
17 release out there, with a quite reactive support/dev team, to
18 which this "bug" could be pushed and corrected), than to just
19 drop inn entirely ?
20
21 Or maybe I'm just plain wrong, in which case I will happily stand
22 corrected.
