-
- The latest I heard is that it goes only to customers who ask for it, or
- have reported bugs known to be fixed in 4.0.5.
-
- As far as I know (and I'm not in support, or in upper management ;)),
- the next general release automatically shipped to everybody on
- maintenance will be the one that has SVR4 etc. support in it. I don't
- think a date has been announced for that one yet, other than "not for a
- while".

-
- Ask for 4.0.5.

-
- Don't wait. At worst, asking for something you are going to get anyway
- might get you a reply that you are already scheduled. Never, ever,
- assume you will automatically get an update unless somebody with authority
- has told you that you will.
