Oops, sorry if you understood it that way - hmm, maybe I should have left
out the "And" at the beginning. What I was aiming at is, that if Suse
(and all other rpm providers as well) change  the behaviour of a well
know package (such as apache-1.2.23) they should make the documentation
of theses changes available to binary rpm users. I don't care when they
change something that is relevant to the packaging process only, but
otherwise, I'd like to know.

I found out that "pro" means "instead of" (as in proconsul). Now I know
what proactive means.
