Why did you release them, if we may ask ?

I'm sure you have a good reason, but it'd be nice to know.

You may off course, but I wanted to explain it when the upload to master
will happen.

Here we go:

Keeping up with mainstream, textutils has NLS, weblint has been updated to
support more recent html. The release is being made in a few days and it
should be as up to date as possible IMO. The debian maintainer of weblint
has been mailed about this (I didn't got any response), the debian
maintainer of textutils can't be reached.

I had decided that getting perl updated was more important and
concentrated on that first.  I sent you mail thanking you for the work
on weblint at 05 Jun 1996 01:49:28 -0700 in message
<[email-masked]>.  Weblint 1.016-1 will be uploaded
to master tonight, signed with my key.
