Of course I would. For much the same reason I use Debian 2.2 instead
of Red Hat 6.2 or SuSE 6.4 or Mandrake or Slackware 7 or Windows
2000. Version numbers are relevant only within a package, saying "foo
1.0" is better than "bar 0.0.3" just because of the version difference
is fundamentally flawed logic.
