I personally never said it was shipping already in all distro. Debian Testing has the proper version since last May (forget about Stable, as usual). So, Debian is in fine shape, I would say... Gentoo 2006.1 is obviously shipping with it. FC6 has it since August. It's currently in RC. I believe Mandriva 2007 has it, and it's also in RC. They make it hard for non-club member to know what's happening. SuSE I can't figure out. Slackware has it in the dev version. 10.2 was one year ago, so they are due for a new release, I guess.
Note that both rpmseek and rpmfind are obsolete, so it's actually a pain trying to track down all that info.
