Wow.  Pastor JW should be "Prophet JW".  What attitude?  He pointed to the
official word on Edgy.  So yes, it's time for an upgrade.  If you have
everything you want on a prior release (5.05???  No such beast), that's
great, but you're the one showing an attitude here.

On the subject of stability: of _course_ the newer releases aren't more
stable.  They're _newer_.  Nobody expects "new" to be rock solid, but gutsy
is, by now, solid, and hardy is pretty darn good.
