The counter-argument is that we have a lot more leeway to make mistakes on a .0 release. We're not going to be cut any slack at all for shipping a badly regressed point release. Some minor regressions are inevitable in software, but they do indeed need to be minor. For how we're doing with regressions in general, see: http://people.freebsd.org/~linimon/studies/prs/prs_for_tag_regression.html Now, it's true that many of the recent PRs are against 9.0, and many of the ones that aren't may be stale (certainly most of the pre-2010 ones), but these are the types of things that users really notice and become unhappy about. mcl _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
