## Polite Request to Distributors.

If you are a Linux or other OpenSource software distributor, please do us the courtesy of only releasing stable versions of PLIB and NOT versions labelled 'unstable' - or (especially) any snapshot you may take from CVS. We are aware that legally, you are entitled to do either of these things - but we ask that you do not because it makes supporting PLIB that much more difficult.

We would also appreciate being notified of which versions you plan to ship - and approximately when so that we may coordinate with you as to the best version to take.
