[wp-testers] Wordpress 2.0.4

>Yes - calling it 2.1 implies that it contains some wizzy new features
Or that a significant fix has occurred, which this was. It's hard to
conceive of a more significant fix being required in a released version.

>Calling it 2.1 is not going to make more people upgrade.

Alright, that's worth considering.  I still think it is more likely to get
people to look at the details of the release.

Nice plugin.  I like the idea...  I'll download it later tonight and look at
it more closely...  Off hand, it sounds like it is a good feature for the
core.  I guess you'd have to be able to turn it off too. People were mad
enough about the dashboard checking in as it does now.
