Yes the MMODULE_MAGIC numbers will need to be realigned for the branch vs trunk. >> > Issues that MUST be resolved before creating the stable >> > branch are issues that would cause incompatibilities between versions > within >> > the branch. > > making the first snapshots of 3.1 be an "alpha" will help with more broad > testing, but also let fix any interfaces that are found to be problematic > once used in real world scenarios. > Absolutely. As soon as the branch is created, the purpose is then to stabilize the branch and move it towards release. Hopefully that won't take too much time. If major problems are found in testing, then those problems must be fixed before an official release. But by creating the branch, trunk can continue with other innovative features which may not be appropriate for 3.1.x > places to look at will be most likely : > > * proprietary UNIX clusters > * heterogeneous clusters > * python modules > * clusters with different custom metrics per node > * integration/migration from older versions > Right.
