According to CTAN, all TeXLive ISO distribution files

http://ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/texlive/Images/

were created 2006-02-01 (it definitely does not mean that what was
included was not created long before this). Because of this I decided
to wait with TeXLive transition until TeXLive 2006 which should be
probably 2007-02-01. I suspect that GW date of ending i-installer
support is connected with this date :)

At this moment GW binaries seem to be slightly off the cutting edge:
pdftex 3.141592-1.30.4-2.2 instead of 3.141592-1.30.6-2.2 the latest
stable and to keep packages I use up-to-date, I rey upon mpm and
myself rather than any distribution.

However, GW words about `more than 1 year old' confused me: any ideas
how new will be TeXLive 2006 when it emerges in February? Probably
pdftex 1.40 will not be included anyway.

                                                                      Victor
