Because we haven't finished the 5.1 release, of course. We don't have
all the time in the world to work on it, you know.
I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to be accusatory; I'm just trying to
understand the situation, not criticize it.
My question was prompted because amu said that it was a real hassle
getting RedHat to do anything for 4.x, and Greg said that was because
of the upgrade to 5.x. I had gotten the impression that there has
been a long-standing reason to dislike RedHat because of only caring
about 4.x.
How long has RedHat been bad with things for 4.x? Only since 5.0 came
out, or for longer?
