That makes sense, but it doesn't preclude, say, alpha making an etch release once the main 4-arch etch release is made. They'd use the same set of source packages as the main release, even if they didn't track testing along the way. When there are divergences, they should be small and minimal. -- John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
