Because trunk works as well as 3.3, it's stable, and there's no reason to put off releasing it, and no reason to do another 3.3 release.

There haven't been enough changes to justify the overhead of maintaining two releases - trunk and the latest branch (3.3). I appreciate your concern for quality releases. It's part of the reason I run trunk, regularly updated, on my mail server. SpamAssassin's bigger problem right now is stagnation, and backports are a problem not a solution. -- "The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents." http://www.ChaosReigns.com
