It was just a couple days ago. I wouldn't even go searching for it, if I didn't run into a build problem with coreutils 7.5. Turns out I didn't had to - my problem was actually libcap-2.16 (fixed in r1).
FYI, upstream appears to be calling this a "beta" release, certain changes in the implementation of rm.
the "beta" is the reason i havent added it to the tree yet
