That IS crazy!
8.2.7 was released at the same time as 8.3.4, both fix the security holes
that popped up in November 2002. Moving from 8.3.4 -> 8.2.7 is a bizzare
sidegrade, not really a downgrade, (unless you're using an 8.3 specific
feature). Both versions (as well as 9.2.2) are considered current, though
9.2.2 is the recommended version to use. I wouldn't worry about this
"upgrade", it shouldn't make life much different. I do have to wonder why
the folks at SunCobalt decided to make this decision, though... probably
happened at 3AM as the MtDew and RedBull started to wear off.
