  I guess nobody was downloading the V8.0 DRM crap, so they had to announce
a vulnerability in all Adobe version 7.x.   And surprise, no fix for
version 7.x.

  [ But actually, there's no surprise that V7 had vulnerabilities - it was
flakey as all get out.   I'll bet V8 has just as many vulnerabilities -
they just haven't tested for them yet ]
