Shouldn't "slapt-get" still use the same scheme so that old versions of 
"slapt-get" may upgrade themselves ?

Here's what I get:
Reading Package Lists... Done
The following packages will be upgraded:
   slapt-get
1 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 235.0kB of archives.
After unpacking 20.0kB of additional disk space will be used.
1/1 Get http://software.jaos.org/slackpacks/11.0/ slapt-get 0.10.1a-i386-1 
[235.0kB]...Done

I have several systems that use "slapt-get" as an automated updating 
mechanism and if they can't upgrade "slapt-get", they won't be able to 
upgrade at all.
