John,

You may be right, although distros.shtml is not (unfortunately) an
authoritative source.  distros.shtml is an attempt by the bogofilter
team, i.e. Matthias and me, to show the bogofilter versions offered by
various distros.  

If a distro updates its bogofilter and we aren't aware of the fact,
then distros.shtml becomes out of date.  We all know the different
distros update packages according to _their_ schedules, so there's no
guaranteed way to keep the list current.

To further complicate the matter, there are dedicated individuals who
provide updated packages for older distro versions.  This is an
invaluable service to users who know of the individuals, but further
complicates the content of distros.shtml as it's unclear whether
official and/or unofficial updates should be listed.  Isn't life fun?

Regards,

David
