Clearly you found my comment to be offensive. It certainly was
not meant that way. It was simply a friendly warning that depending
on a pre-announcement set of files may not give you the final product.
in previous releases there have been people who assumed it was final
when in fact something was subsequently changed and re-pushed.
I have no agenda here. I'm just attempting to be helpful. If you
don't find it to be helpful, you're free to ignore it.
