My apologies if I made you upset...

I just cvsupped 5-STABLE this morning and noticed, that the old versions 
of the two gvinum-files mentioned are still there.

And, No, I have no idea... I thought, release building starts after the 
release date...

May be, that's not my decision. But I remember the release of 5.2.1 
shortly after 5.2 and I just tried to help to avoid something like that 
for 5.3.

Perhaps you're right - those people who play around with (g)vinum aren't 
beginners anymore and as such capable to cvsup to 5-STABLE anyway. But 
it remains kind of unlovely to ship already solved bugs... (IMHO)
