I know, but in my opinion very few people who are serious about multimedia
run potato. But we don't loose much, so lets support potato too then.
On the other hand, I don't think all that many potato users get the latest

Most of the people who run Potato are those who want absolute stability,

out-of-date system. That's after all why Testing was invented.
