Today is the day, as per the schedule on MandrakeSecure. MNF8.2 will
continue to receive updates, so you can squeeze out some updates (sorta) for
8.2 if you point to the MNF8.2 tree, but that will only cover a small
percentage of vulns if they show up because MNF has a much smaller number of
packages.
