With 2.2 at last in Gamma,I assume that 2.1.7 will not be a CDROM
release,even though the security hole prompting the unplanned
creation of 2.1.7 was serious enough to get 2.1.6 pulled from the FTP
sites?

I don't know how this would affect 2.1.6 CDROM sales,since after all
the same problem is there in 2.1.0 and 2.1.5...it does make an
upgrade to 2.1.6 seem less appetizing.

So what version *will* be stablest of them all?
