Do you know who, precisely, got the CD? I'm going to try to chase this down, but exact names would be helpful. Also, when you push that material out to the community, when did you do that? That is, if your work is 2.4.2-based, is it reasonable to assume that 2.4.2 or 2.4.3 in the CVS repository will work? Or do you take a more "fire and forget" sort of approach?
