Seems like our most common problem has been releasing most of the files for 
a change, but forgetting one or two.  The regression tests have been 
invaluable in detecting unexpected events.  Unfortunately, they only check 
for what we "think" is the right result - as evidenced by the recently 
corrected processing of message separators.  However, the tests' 
correctness is improving over time.

Have you any people in mind for auditing?

0.11 is scheduled for release soon.  That'll make Robinson-Fisher official 
:-)  I still need to make changes for unregistering changes.  FYI, in the 
informal poll done a few weeks ago had 4 or 5 people vote for changing the 
behavior of -N and -S to "unregister only", but only 2 people voting for 
adding -U as a modifier to -N or -S.
