If not, then perhaps developers could refer in some other
way (by date?) to the code that contains a given fix.
But please see the "If not..." part above. I am interested in knowing which
upcoming Windows binary will have a particular fix (e.g. identified by "revno
101110"). When communicating with bug-report filers, a date is perhaps more
useful than just a revno (and users should not need to dig into change logs).
Some users might be able to do something with a revno, but a date should be of
some help to any user.
