What are the problems with 2.5?  I've been using it here with no
problems, but I'd appreciate a heads-up if I can expect difficulties.

And maybe I'm being dense, but why is it so hard to find the patch
source?  I found it without even looking, just by going to
prep.ai.mit.edu (the gnu repository).  Apologies if I'm being
terminally dense, though.
