Which is a nice thing, IMHO.
Agreed, however, a simple email message notifying them about the new version serves the same purpose, and doesn't create a (possibly unnecessary) bug report to deal with the issue. Creating a bug report has the advantage of sharing the status of the issue with other users and developers, but the disadvantage of annoying developers who are oversensitive about bug reports. -- - mdz
