Well fair enough, but what puzzles me is how do we find out when it's
available?  Further, now that ISC tech support is pay-fer, how do we
report bugs and how do we know if/when they are fixed.  Even the
elephantine blue sees to it that a bug fix is acknowledged and made
available to the person/organization that reported it (if they are
still alive and/or in business :-)

Last I heard was "we're reading, we'll get the bug report" but nothing
about how to get a bug fix.  Example -  Let's say that's Ed's right on,
the distributed 2.2 YP is totally dain bread.  Do I have to pay $650 to
get a replacement for something I bought as not-defective?  I'm not
talking about interim enhancements, upgrades, etc, I'm talking about
something sold as working but that proved to be defective.  I'm also not
going to listen to "as-is", I can read the warranty, but I expect some
conscience and responsibility from my vendor.

So what's the score?  I'm not going to fork out $600+, but I paid cash
money for YP.  I've never gotten a recall or fix notice from ISC, how
do I find out when what I (thinking it worked) bought is available and
how to get it?
