I think he is saying that if an exploit is found in pg 8.1.x, there policy is
to never backpatch to 8.0.x. If so that's a fair criticism (to the extent
that upgrades are cumbersome with their software)

Just to be clear, I am not validating his statement, just wondering if you
misinterpreted it. I've certainly heard more bad than good about phpbb, but
I've no first hand experience and it could be a wonderful product. (From this
thread it just sounds like they need a little more structure in the project)
