To say the least. :)

For the sake of anyone looking through the archives, that link is:

http://ftp.wl0.org/official/2.8/

FWIW, Simon's RPMs seem to only be available for x86_64. So 32-bit
users will need to use the SRPMs and build their own 32-bit RPM before
installing... but at that point I still think it's less work to simply
compile and "make upgrade" from the source code, not to mention
allowing more flexibility to choose support for LDAP, MySQL, etc.
Users who take the small amount of time required to learn how to do so
can update their Postfix (to 2.8.2, for example) as soon as a new
version is released, rather than wait for generous people like Simon
to take time out of their schedule to build RPMs. Those of us running
RH should be grateful to Simon for his efforts, but I hate to see
people become completely dependent on them. :)

The FTP server is clearly the more important of the two, so I don't
blame him. :)
