What i'm expecting from a new release is a new stage[1,2,3] tarballs with updated software. Actually, when i install Gentoo from a 2008.0 stage 3, there is many updates to deal with, and many more when going under unstable tree... A new release mean for me that the postinstall process to get an up-to-date and running Gentoo is shorter than with ageing stages. I know that i can build up-to-date stages from myself, but i'm thinking about those people who wants to start with gentoo and face too early with updating problems, that maybe can disappoint them to continue with gentoo. But it's just my opinion. > > Was there ever a feature which was introduced with a release? > > Perhaps today there was "gentoo-like" release with getting xorg 1.5.3 > stable. > > Cheers, justin
