Still fresh, damnit!
No, that photo was posted by ED on the mailing list. Two problems are being discussed at the moment, battery charging (which just at the moment might not be anything to do with heat, but it's still slightly unclear to me), and the backlight minimum power.
Edit: Yeah, the before/until confusion seems to be an error that ED makes quite often. He's quite good at stopping to think and picking the right one when he makes a forum topic these days, but evidently it's still not automatic for him when he's knocking off a quick email. When you think about it, the two terms are quite difficult to distinguish even in English; they both mean something happens before a specific date. It's just that until kind of suggests a continuous action that happens between now and the specified date, while before or by means it ought to happen once between now and the date. In most cases, it's pretty obvious if something is continuous or not, so having two words for a very similar thing is kind of excessive.
