No, it was a consious decision to do just to piss you off, glad to see it worked :)
Come on, give me a break, Tiago asked that we do releases as soon as we know about a security problem. 2.6.25.11 was released because of this, and all users were told to upgrade. Is the fact that I add the magic word "security" in a sentance in the email some specific requirement that will make you happy?
Take a look at the words I used, if someone can't determine if they should upgrade or not based on that, then they need to rely on a company to provide updates for them, and not be running their own kernels because they really have no clue about system management.
Bah, what a joke.
