New users should either use the version bundled with the most recent Emacs release (Gnus 5.11 in Emacs 22.1) or the most recent stand-alone distribution Gnus 5.10.*.

This is why these are *development* versions. > I doubt they care, unless they're making a bug report, and it's exactly > for the purpose of bug reports that the current numbering exists...
