The release was up for downloading and then deleted. Just like a faulty
commit is up for downloading and can be deleted, if a problem arises. I
don't see the difference, except for that support issue you brought up.
Curious: what does that support consist of that is given for a release,
but not for a cvs version?

I'm just trying to understand the procedures here, because I want to
learn something for my own use in other projects. What are the people,
who voted +1 now, committing themselves to, which they wouldn't if it
was just a cvs commit? What is the reasoning behind a +1 or -1 for a release?
