OK, what happened to 10.2.7? :confused:

Also, I haven't seen yet if this addresses the SSH vulnerability found a couple of weeks ago. Anyone know for sure?

So this would imply that 10.2.7 was a G5-only build? And that maybe 10.2.9 may bring back the code to a common build? Or will we have to wait for Panther for common code?
