Ye, but if they'd be in oldstable too, we are more sure they'll be
around and popular for the coming, say, 3 years.  As Michael Banck

mentioning specific implementations.  Anything "smaller" than, say,
Firefox, might not be worth mentioning.

One can print any heavily patched flyer.  No need to wait for changes to
be commited to CVS before printing.

Well, that way you assume there won't be _less_ CDs in the future... :)

Yep, see Mail-Followup-To, as mentioned.
