Hi Aitor,

> I support this idea, but that means that odd numbers (2039) would go unstable.

Actually Bart already ported country sys support from unstable,
combining it with built-in country support. He is also working
on f-node free operations in stable. This means that version
2039 will be the next version of stable.

I think it also means that we will gradually port more things
from unstable into the stable branch, but have no new unstable
versions (-numbers) to be released in the next few months. It
would be good to update the wiki page about unstable here...
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/freedos/index.php?title=Unstable_Kernel_Branch
...to have a better view on which features are "port-worthy".

I agree that the freedos distro should by default include the
stable branch of the kernel :-). Note that the discussion in
mid-may was about experimental filesystems. I still think it
would be better to play with those only in the unstable branch.

That branch can serve as testing ground for experimental things
and as a pool for carefully (!) porting features into stable.
Of course it would be useful to port some updates from stable
to unstable first, to make the unstable branch more useable.

Eric
