Where does slashdot come up with this shit?  (pardon my french)  I don't
believe Red Hat's QA process to be substantially better than the Ximian
one. Clearly Ximian GNOME for Red Hat 7.1 isn't designed to work on Red
Hat 7.2, but that doesn't detract from the QA that they've done.  I'm
sure Ximian will have a new Ximian GNOME before very long at all.
