Er, this is what I wrote: > I'm objecting to: > >>> "Regressions since gdb 6.0" >>> and "Regressions since gdb 5.3". > If specific problems are present in 6.1 and are going to _really_ hurt the user then they should be mentioned (if they happened to be in 6.0 as well, oops). > > However, we should not allow PROBLEMS to accumulate just because they are still present -- heavy editing is required to ensure that the PROBLEMS file is both relevant and focused (Several releases back I deleted chunks of README as, although technically correct, they were simply not relevant). Put simply those titles should be removed. Andrew
