Our develoment resources and enthusiasms are diffused between blead and maint, mostly because of the incredibly long blead release cycle; anyone who wants to see something new and therefore pushes for inclusion in maint has been making s rational choice (until now). More development emphasis on blead, and an increase blead release frequency, will fix this problem; it will be good for the project, and will happen. This emphasis is, of necessity, at the expense of backporting non-critical patches into maint. I don't imagine Dave would disagree that maint is pulling in too much stuff. $DEITY, after the delay on 5.10.1, a person could be forgiven for wishing for a separate "critical-maint" branch. And that's just nuts. Of course the adjective "critical" is imprecise, because it's human natural language. As always patches will be considered on their individual merits. -- Chip SalzenbergThread Previous | Thread Next
