I was kind of hoping to see a mechanism that people can contribute patches that get sticked side-by-side with the download links of the older milestone tarballs, or some kind of "Patches page" to so that others would know: "there's a patch that would make milestone X build on YYYY-MM-DD". I understand it's not likely to commit back into the code repo to keep older milestones up-to-date. Regards, Kris Mok
