I think so. I know of two minor (non-show-stopper) nits:
1) IF (and only if) folks have used the setup-snapshots AND they
happened to use a particular version (dunno which one, sorry), then the
foo.lst.gz files in /etc/setup that were created by this particular bad
setup.exe, contain 0x00 bytes at the end of each line.
This has been fixed in setup itself -- but the bad .lst.gz files remain.
This *may* cause trouble in the future (when the .lst file is re-read
for uninstall) but
a) it only affects a few people
b) it may not even be a problem (don't borrow trouble)
c) it's easily fixed by hand
2) It seems that when uninstalling (or upgrading), if the uninstalled
package leaves behing a directory that is empty, the directory is not
removed. Not a big deal, and certainly not a showstopper.
