I already do, and I will NEVER use a ruby release AGAIN, and won't upgrade 
without testing all of my software first. I'm trying to convince people that 
ruby is well maintained and mature enough, but no published fixes when the 
core library is broken does not help.

People are still downloading a ruby version where the therad library is broken 
when they go to the english version of ruby-lang.org. You can't expect 
*everybody* to use subversion.

ruby-talk is *not* the only place to announce. At least announcing on 
rubyforge would be an idea.

Not if the interpreter and the core library *works*. If it is broken, it is 
very long.
