I agree with you completely! Its just crazy that all
those updates are sitting in the BQ "test" repo.
All the hard work that Brian, Micheal and others
did and its going to waste for soo long.
And to all those replying to Dan's post saying move
on to centos5 or BO, etc. What about people that are
not quite ready to or cant make the change yet or are
still evaluating BO. All those updates are there
and BQ is all but seeming to be dead.
miffed and agrees with Dan!
