It wasn't abolished, there was a showstopper problem discovered before
the ink was dry on the original announcment of 2.6.8. Thats (the .1)
the fixed release.

Stuff happens. To me, thats a very minor concern. My 11 year old
Shelty friend and pet took sick and died a horrible death all in
about 4 hours today while we were unable to locate a vet who was
available on a Saturday. So an instant fix .1 release is very minor
to me.
