(1) That is why I always get the newest release before reporting a bug.
(2) Every bug report needs to contain a version number. And if a user
reports stoneage bugs, automatic reply would be "update your system"
There is nothing else one could do against that. I do not see any
difference, especially as under the current model, is is not only
the version "they think is the current" but it _IS_ the current,
or to express is easier:
(3) So what? The current code is year(s) old -- what makes the difference ;)
