Thank you for your work!  I had alredy given up on VM altogether, since
it has so many bugs (at least in my setup) that it has cost me dozens
of hours and many lost emails.  I am willing to reconsider.

I fully agree that it is important to publish a new "baseline" release.
The task for people like me would then be to try and recreate each bug
in a minimal configuration on that new baseline release, and then file
issues.  That is the best way forward.


Best regards -- Volker
