And a very few changes have been committed since then.
The ctm-src-2_1 list still gets changes once or twice a week.
I will be happy to continue to distribute any additional changes that get
committed. (Like a new sendmail ?)

IMHO, such security problem patches SHOULD get committed to the 2.1 tree
UNTIL 2.2 has proven itself. Since 2.2 is just now in "beta", I would guess
that might be around March, 1997.

If the existing commiters REFUSE to do so, perhaps we need some
other/additional committers who ARE WILLING. (I know it ain't fun, but it
really does go a long way toward giving us a reputation for the highest
quality)
