No, it's merely logical.?? If it's not available, *and* we're not aware
that it's available, it's not released.?? It's as simple as that.
Trying to say that something is released (but yet not actually
available), just because it's said that it will be released in a day or
so's time, *is* bureaucratically perverse.?? And just plain nuts.

You didn't read what I typed, did you??? Let me try rewording it:
Quite apart from your current pedantic stand about whether something is
released because it's momentarily *about* to be released, I was
*further* commenting on how people *continually* try posting on the
user-list about software that is still in test, all year long.
And I don't care whether that's a post about whole distro, or merely
about the next version of one particular package that's being debugged.??
If you want to solve a problem with unreleased software, it needs to be
discussed with the group working on the unreleased software.?? And why's
that?
Because the people working on the test releases aren't always subscribed
to this list.?? They don't want to be.?? They want to keep this groups
chatter out of the way of what they're working on.
And the opposite applies:?? The people working with the released
software, on *this* list, want to keep the chatter about
software-in-test out of the way.
That's why there's two lists.?? It ain't rocket science.
