[development] possible change in xml on update.drupal.org site breaks drush

[Doug Holton]

I wasn't sure if there is a project page for the update.drupal.org site
to post this.  Was the xml output on that site recently changed?  For
example with this xml file:
http://updates.drupal.org/release-history/lightbox2/5.x
The update-status module's xml parser class (I'm using drupal 5.7)
removes all information between the </terms> tag and the <releases> tag.

That breaks drush because it needs the "default_major" data.  Here's an
issue with more information:
