yes, the issue of back-porting was discussed at hpworld.  sig mpe
requested hp to back-port to 6.5 and 7.0.

but the question on everyone's mind is -- if stuff is back-ported will
anyone install it??  csy *really* needs to get a clear answer to this
question.  if most people say 'no' -- that's clear.  what we don't want
is people saying 'yes' when they can't actually patch their systems
(probably because they're locked down).

so can you (not are you willing) patch your 6.5 and 7.0 systems?   - d
