Hi Wayne,
We're still working the bug's out of the bugfix, bugfix-4.., and fastbug 
repositories.  We haven't gotten scripts ironed out yet.
There was also problem that Connie and Myself were thinking two 
different ways about the bugfix area, but we thought that the other was 
thinking the same way as ourselves.  (Does that make sense.)

In S.L. 4.2 we just had the 'bugfix' area, but that ended up being too 
generic of a term.  So now in S.L. 4.3 we have two area's.  This is from 
the release notes.

----------------
fastbug/RPMS/
	Packages rebuilt from the Upstream Vendor Fastrack rpms
	These are rpms that are expected to be in the next Update
	They have gone through full QA by the Upstream Vendor
bugfix44/RPMS/
	Reserved for packages from the next Update in case we do not
         do a full release.
	Commonly this is empty as we really did the update.
-----------------

Back to S.L. 4.2, the current bugfix area is pointing to bugfix43, which 
  as you pointed out, looks like we didn't get the latest stuff that 
actually came out with S.L. 4.3.  I'll work on getting that fixed up, 
that will hopefully be done tomorrow.
