I know what it says on the releases page ... but that's not what it says to anyone looking for information about what to download and install, or what is supported or not... I mean seriously if there is no support for 9.x why are you telling people it is an option for a new installation because its a current production version...? Why is it even listed on the support page as a 'currently supported' version? I mean it became obvious to some of us even though I never saw an official announcement that 9.x is being retired as quickly as possible therefore there will be no x.4 release unlike other releases... but at least update the documentation to say 9.x is no longer a production version and nothing except critical security issues will be fixed on the support page... because *that* is what you just indicated... Put it in the release documentation, announce it, so at least everyone will know for certain there is no point in asking for help.... Michelle -- Michelle Sullivan http://www.mhix.org/
