I was thinking about this and I'm with Andriy on this: such solution has no long term potential and will only serve to stagnate the innovation. This has been repeated over and over in this thread, but it's worth another mention, currently, there are effectively four tracks: 7.4, 8.2, 9.0 and -HEAD, which understandably poses a lot of difficulty for in terms of maintenance. Whatever historical reason for that is, I think a lot of people would agree that this needs changing in the near future to have a single -RELEASE branch and a single -HEAD branch, but with the understanding by the devs that just because -RELEASE has been cut, it doesn't mean that everyone, en mass, drops development on that and hops on the -HEAD bandwagon... -- Igor M. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
