	Yes - well, that is - if you look at the patches/src680/apply file you
will see all the up-stream issue numbers those patches are filed
against. Of course - there is a huge gap between filing a fix & actually
seeing it in a shipping product - with a release every 2 years - it can
be quite a tough process ;-)

	Right - a tough call - sadly the feature freeze was ~3 weeks and
several betas ago; but I look forward to seeing it (in some complete
form) in 10.1.

	Fairly low traffic indeed - fairly rare to have much E-mail at all
here.

	Regards,
