Right... but the one problem with this argument is that it could be applied to any feature. You could say that, unless we release with feature X, we are depriving our users from using feature X. Perhaps it would better to release whenever everything that does exist is relatively stable and working well as a system, as opposed to waiting until everything exists. > That's what unstable's for. Although I think there's a difference between "unstable" and "incomplete," I don't think it much matters, as long as releases are made in some form (official, unstable, snapshot CD's, whatever). And obviously if Debian is somehow not meeting the needs of the community, some other HURD distribution is free to arise. --tobin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
