Aaah.... Drat. I could have sworn that it was in and noone caught the
error before.

Oh well. Guess in this case I was over-optimistic.

Until I have the chance to fix it, just imagine that the WWOL document
you are reading is not the 'real' document, but rather a fluke of
quantum science. By some amazing process that can only be properly
performed by semi-sane science professionals in non-laboratory
environments, this copy of WWOL has somehow transcended the dimensional
barrier. It is, in effect, from a parallel universe. In *that* universe,
Ingo completed the necessary changes and merged them into 2.6 quite some
time ago.

The butterfly effect being what it is, I'm sure there are other changes
in that universe. For example, flamingos may be blue or green. As the
color of Caribbean birds rarely influence kernel development, we should
be otherwise generally safe.
