Some news might be no news anymore, it's not for everybody useful to
upgrade the Linux very often.

I got all upgrade information using Google e.g. linked to the news.
Anyway I wonder why people aren't allowed to ask every question. There
were not hundred people asking about mtab at this list, just one person
and this person might have missed the information by the news.

I read tons of threads on Arch forums and I had to read hundreds of
times replies saying "use Google", "search the Wiki", "search the forum"
+ tons of misinformation from experts aka moderators, since they
sometimes not really experts for everything.
