Well, that's a little insulting.

You're angry because we didn't release an update for a component that  
is unsupported, which is specified in policy and has been policy for  
at least 5 years?  Shame on you for being angry about something like  
that.

The clamav thread.  When did that start?  Yesterday?  Today?  Good  
Lord man, we're not super heros here that can turn back the clock or  
work at the speed of light.  You whine about an older version in  
clamav less than 24 hours ago and you expect the update to be out  
already?  I think you need a reality check.

LE2005 a community version and not for production?  I think you  
misread the press release.  LE2005 is fully supported for the same  
length of time that 10.1 is.  LE2005 is functionally the equivalent  
of 10.2.  LE2005 is an official product being sold by MandrivaStore.   
LE2005 is called "Limited Edition" not because it's some crap we  
decided to pass the time with but because it will have limited  
*distribution* meaning boxed sets will not be sold in stores.

In other words, you're way off base here and I'm highly insulted.   
You're also providing misleading information to other people on the  
list and that is certainly not appreciated; not by me and certainly  
not by the other users who might be actually seriously listening to  
this drivel.

You wanted a reaction?  You got one.  I don't think it's what you  
expected, but maybe next time you should do a little research first  
and then maybe throw a dash of common sense in there as well.

(FWIW, you'll get your clamav update... it may not be today, but it  
will be sometime this week)
