Hum? Yeah I saw it on the BBC this morning.

Got me wondering if we should be complaining about advertising on the BBC, 
because "they" certainly don't "do" all the bells and whistles garbage 
everytime one of the distros (or Mac for that matter) have a major release.

So I wouldn't expect the beeb to blow their trumpet, other than any changes in 
the markets/share prices - which IMO would be bona fide financial 
news/reporting.
