I'm not arguing about the past - the project had so few active people at
that time that it didn't matter. However, now that the project became
more active again, and there are people willing and able to work on new
functionality, we shouldn't hinder their work. We are discussing what is
the best course of the action for future releases, in order to avoid
such long freeze periods on the trunk/ .
Now you are not getting me. I am not arguing about the past either.
I am just saying that the proposed process does not give any
benefit in regard of those arguments you gave if the trunk is freezed long
before branching. The branch should have been done when we kind fixed
the features for 0.9. not when the first rc is cut.
