I'm a little concerned about that wording change. I proposed the current 
wording and footnote because the situation is dynamic and is not so cut and 
dried.  For one, Apple could at anytime fix their Tcl/Tk.  Another, ActiveState 
could issue a new (and presumably better) patchlevel of 8.5 (rather than 
8.5.9).  Third, users need to be aware that ActiveState Tcl/Tk comes with its 
own license which may not be compatible with their usage (a warning to be added 
in a forthcoming update to the mac/tcltk web page).  As it stands, the Download 
page, the Installer Welcome message, the Installer readme, and the last ditch 
IDLE warning message all point the user to one place for current information.  
Yes, the download page can be easily updated but I could see a duplicated but 
distilled recommendation taking on a life of its own.  But I concede that my 
concern may be misplaced.
