Hi Martin,

I believe this is still the goal, unless someone can make a very compelling
case otherwise.  I realize the world isn't always perfect and sometimes it
makes more sense to adjust and work around that, but it does lead to
problems if we depend on a version that is taken from some random point in
time or is not yet released.  It can make downstream support of FlightGear
pretty difficult.

Curt.
