Folks,

the Red Hat PR team (schwartz) declined to participate in the release. 
They felt the release was not positive enough and was too heavy on the 
Microsoft-bashing.  Go figure. :(  I disgree with them, of course, but 
it wasn't my decision to make.  Touche.  Go ahead without us being 
officially involved -- I'll still help.

Matt
