It is *doubtful* that Bill and Lynne will release *official* patches to 0.1 before 0.2 is released. Having spoken with them on the phone, they are pretty happy with the patchkit mechanism, and so have been spending their time doing more useful things, like fixing bugs in 0.2. Note, I DON'T speak for Bill and Lynne, this is just my impression of the situation.
