I thought we concur that (short of direct html injection in the page's
<head>) the browser misdetection of UTF-7, contrary on it's face to
RFC2616, was a client specific problem?  If so, this is a "related to
CVE-2008-0005" footnote, not the topic.

Agreed.  I'd have preferred not wiping 2.2.5 from the record,
but not strongly enough to make a fuss.

In any case, one sees that we've done it both ways.
Consider 2.2.5 and 2.2.1. Same with the 2.0.x
ones as well...

Looking back, I prefer keeping the "old" way, where
once we've tagged, we have a corresponding entry
in CHANGES... My intent is to keep the 2.2.7,
2.0.62 and 1.3.40 lines in CHANGES.

Just as there *was* a 2.2.5.

No, since there *was* a 2.2.7... it just wasn't released.

BTW: Shouldn't we drop 2.2.7 entirely from the CHANGES file and put all
changes since 2.2.6 under 2.2.8?

So did I misunderstood Mark in its mail on security@?
I am now confused, because the browser issue is one and the same for
all cases. Why having a special CVE number for the mod_proxy_ftp case
then?
Anyway I can change this to a footnote if you like.
