It's definitely been filed. apt hasn't been released at all recently,
though.

Not everyone. As I said somewhere else, I don't believe it affects
people who haven't decided it's a good idea to put multiple

two or three times its current size by the time it releases, I guess it
could affect all upgraders ...)
