I just want to know this:
Do you realise you are talking to
- a member of the security team
- a member of the Technical committee
- the (I believe) active maintainer of dpkg
- and to boot: The previous leader of Debian?
Wichert made a mistake. I've been using the prerelease packages and I
only recently realized that the Vim 6 versioning is funny.
Vim 6.0ax was the last beta release I believe!
