Hi James,

I understand, ...
... but huh? OpenSuSE-12.2 and Fedora 16+ are already on 4.5.10
(Ubuntu and Debian are still on 4.4.2), and there's only been
1 single commit in 2012:

  $ git log | grep ^Date: | head -n 2
  Date:   Mon Jun 4 12:30:52 2012 +0200
  Date:   Fri Dec 30 12:16:09 2011 +0000

Any plans how to get out of this?

Have a nice day,
Berny
