Re: Regarding 1.3.x/STATUS item for SWIG compat check

Oh, and to add further confusion, I see *this* STATUS item:

  * r18924, r17931, r18928, r18951, r18953
    Support SWIG 1.3.28.
    Justification:
      The latest stable SWIG version is 1.3.28. To be used extensively,
      the Ruby bindings should support SWIG 1.3.28.
    Votes:
      +1: kou

Which seems to be less about making Subversion claim support for 1.3.28, and
more about making the Ruby bindings make use of 1.3.28's features, or somesuch.

Sheesh.
