25 Any thoughts on this? If we use 2.0.54 for the fix for this, that can go into
26 ~arch before 2.0.53_pre7 goes to .53 and arch without versioning getting
27 screwed up. I'm still pretty sure 2.0.53 will be stable (at least on some
28 arch) in under 48 hours and the fix for this should really go out at the same
29 time or before...
