Notes:
1- http://www.lyx.org/news.php3#item2 says:
`LyX 1.1.2 released
The second release in the new "advancement" series are now
available it fixes a couple of semi-serious bugs in 1.1.1 and
is considered stable.'
2- http://www.lyx.org/download/ says:
`A quick summary: download things from the "stable" directory
for stability; or live on the edge, go to the Developers page
and get less stable versions via CVS.'
This version was downloaded from
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.1.2.tar.gz
^^^^^^
3- If it didn't compile we couldn't upload it.
4- I agree that we shouldn't package stuff that upstream doesn't
want available mainstream. I don't think that this is the
case with Lyx.
5- It's up to Michael Meskes to decide.
I _do_ appreciate your comments, and in no way do I want to sound
harsh in my response.
