If you had to be affected by all bugs to upgrade, you wouldn't update

When it comes to critical software like a production email server where
everything is so intricated, I compile all the sources and don't rely on
softwares compiled by unknown people unaware of all my needs and reorganizing
the softwares the way they want. So I compile from scratch clamav, zlib,
sendmail... and I know how all these softwares work together. Your mileage
may vary.

OK. So we will wait for 0.94...
