24 Sorry Alexander, I just don't get where you're going with this. Version 0.8
25 was released September 27, 2004! There have been 4 major new releases since
26 then, which include many bug fixes, and new and improved features. 0.8 is old
27 and busted, 0.9.3 is the new hotness!
28
29 Surely I don't need to explain the concept of how software improves with new
30 development? You're not using GCC 2.95 and kernel 2.2.10 are you?

32 Confused by your remarks,
