Yeah, especially since Carl was *already* making good progress on the GUB-related critical issues. > <URL:http://xkcd.com/386/> yep. Let's cut to the chase: I am an evil semi-overlord. I jealously guard my ssh login to lilypond.org (along with Han-Wen's and Jan's), I am fickle, and I like to play with small kittens. Due to my evil fickle nature, I am not going to change the stated policy until it has been in place for at least 12 months. Any critical issue will block a stable release. I am chuckling maniacally and delighting in how evil and wrong I am being. Don't like it? You have three (effective) options: 1. don't add regressions. 2. fix (or help fix) any critical issues. 3. build your own binary releases. Finally: I bet that Hitler had strong opinions on when open-source projects should release stable versions.
