Hmm, I would like to point out that this is not obvious. Previously,
SuSE was criticised for shipping 2.1.22, but at the time SuSE 9 (and
Mandrake 9.2 for that matter) shipped, 2.1.22 was shown on the openldap
site as being the current stable release. At present, 2.1.22 is still
linked into ftp://ftp.openldap.org/pub/OpenLDAP/openldap-stable/ , and
no patches are recommended.

For people who don't have the luxury of subscribing to *all* the mailing
lists (which, for instance, may include the maintainers of the packages
in Linux distributions), it is at present not very obvious that 2.1.22
should not have been shipped (and whether it would be wise for
distributors to ship an update to 2.1.25).

It's all fine and well to criticise people distributing your software,
but then it would be polite to ensure that it's easy for them to do the
right thing in the limited time they have to maintain each package they
work on.

Regards,
Buchan

P.S. I am an occasional contributor to the Mandrake openldap packages
and maintainer of a number of Mandrake packages.
