On a related note. It appears that the gui release will rely on base

So what does that mean? Does gui 0.13.0 not work with base
1.14.1? (Just saw the new Library Compatibility page on the wiki,
so yes) If that's the case, I don't think it's a good idea keeping
things the way they are then. I generally make the Slackware
packages that are on the FTP and what this current policy means to
people packaging GNUstep is that they HAVE to follow GNUstep
unstable no matter what since if you want to have a complete
GNUstep environment you need base + gui.
I haven't tested it myself, but I would guess at the least you would
see some compiler warnings. And perhaps a few coding methods would
not work (although it appears they would not work in the previous
release either, so perhaps that doesn't matter). I could try to
backport changes that are ABI compatible to the 0.12.0 branch, but as
the last release was over 6 months ago, that would be a lot of work.
I think we just need to get into the habit of releasing more often so
perhaps it would not be so much work.
