+ * the "you're damn right I'm bitter" release
+
+ * Release urgency due to 2 factors:
+ - the motivation for 4.2.1-7 wasn't actually fulfilled because of an error
+ on my part (see change to debian/xlibs-pic.install* below) (KDE
+ maintainer(s), you want this)
+ - GCC 3.3 miscompiles XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 key generation and/or validation
+ routines at optimization level -O2 on more than just PowerPC; this hits
+ i386 as well. Also, GCC 3.3 ICEs at -O2 on ARM, but not (reportedly) at
+ -O. Therefore all of XFree86 is being stepped down to -O for all
+ architectures. I'm loving the Brave New World of regressions that GCC
+ 3.3 is bringing us -- isn't it good all of them were stopped dead in
+ their tracks before release thanks to the rigorous testing gcc-snapshot
+ buys us?
+ - Urgency also high because people apparently do not know how to use the
+ Debian Bug Tracking System, and keep reporting the XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1
+ breakage over and over again. And again. And again. And again. And
+ again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And
+ again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And
+ again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. So,
+ just keep doing that, folks -- the more time I spent triaging redundant
+ reports, the less time I have to spend packaging XFree86 4.3.0.
