True, but it would have been much clearer to have mentioned it in the
e-mail rather than expecting people to remember this earlier thread (I
didn't).

We're not talking about me personally (I don't use any version of
NetBeans), but about what is available in various distributions.  As a
Fedora user, you are probably aware that version 12, which contains
this version of NetBeans, has only just been released, and so it isn't
yet in widespread use.  I would imagine other distributions are the
same; a quick web search shows only the very latest Ubuntu has 6.7 and
Debian is still on 6.0.

Six months is nothing; if we were talking six years, you'd have a point :)
