Indeed it is, Geoff.  But remember, this is IW we are talking about
here.  And lets be clear.  It is NOT Activision's fault.  Other games
distributed by ATVI have linux binaries at release or within a day or
so.  Not IW.  It is always at least a week after and Ryan is pushed by
them to release binaries that really should be beta.  This is NOT
intended to be a reflection on Ryan.  He does not have sufficient time
to code them properly while IW is screaming at him to release them.
No, I'll be happy if he releases them on the 12th, as long as they are
bug free.
