Hi,
I just got a note that GMP transitioned to testing. Thanks
to whoever made that happen.

I'd be grateful if someone could explain -- in small words, please,
for those of us not immersed in the minutia of release management --
two things:
(a) what does that "hint" mean, and

the hint was put in place on 2007-07-26.
Thanks,
