	Great - I re-ordered the page to put the big bug query at the bottom;
added some more moderate comment on the 3.5 MAB list - and added the
list of fixed hardhacks with credits - to show what we've been up to.

	Heh - for sure; we currently need some love on impress - quite possibly
the several undo bugs there are actually related.

	It might be worth having a "lapsed hard-hacks" section; if no-one picks
it up after a couple of weeks, we should perhaps put them there - I
guess.
