The decision was already made to not support Opera in .LRN 2.2. Do we know that this is the only problem?
It would require sneaking another 5.2.3 tarball into our download repository without our normal alpha-beta cycle, which I don't really care for. We did it once for Safari, if .LRN folks decide to revert the decision not to support Opera I'll do it again.
But we NEED TO STOP ADDING CODE TO 5.2.
It's the branch that never dies. Someone hand me a stake to drive through its heart, please!
