It's not difficult to notice that the traffic has dropped right off

Does that mean that Mageia is flawless or we have become experts
or all died. :-)

Short version.

Things are quiet when everything is going well.

Long version.

The bugs mailing list shows the packagers are keeping up on fixing bugs, especially
security bugs. That mailing list is the only one that really matters for knowing how Mageia
is doing.

The dev ml shows development of Mageia 10 is ongoing. Discussions have started there
about starting the process of building the release. They haven't yet asked the council to
give the ok to start the process. When they do, the council will decide if there are enough
changes between m9 and what will become m10 to justify starting the release building
process.

Thanks for the update, Dave.

I had been starting to think that you guys were holding up the release
of V10 until I had actually gotten around to installing V9 so I could
then update to V10 straight up!! ;-P

Yep absolutely

The days of silence get a bit eerie
Then again I could be waiting for a Windows update. I've never
experienced a patch tuesday. I've got paradise here

I hang on for as long as possible but I have to bite the update bullet
when Firefox falls over
I don't update, I re-install and always forget to backup at least one
config file
I have spent many afternoons cursing at Thunderbird and VLC going
around and around trying to remember how I set it up last time
