This is the problem I have with policies, rules, or whatever for back-compat or stable-porting. People should be able to contribute what they are able to. And another problem I have with 'stable' being trunk, in the past trunk has become 'frozen' for releases and such (I think pretty much real all development stopped around the 3.0 timeframe for a really long time). I think this is extremely unhealthy and we should never do this again. -- Robert Muir rcm...@gmail.com
