I know, it's been deprecated for some time now, I was referring in terms
of releases. A user who is not involved with the developers list is not
going to know what has transpired between releases and may get a
surprise when they upgrade.

        1.33	distributed,
        1.34 	distributed & deprecated,
        1.35	gone (but available for DL)

Makes more sense, to me at least <shrug>

Sorry, I didn't realize my wording came off like it did until I saw it
