Perhaps. Perhaps not. The fewer the changes, the less complexity you have to manage. But it would certainly result in a smaller set of feature changes per release. Some people might regard that as a good thing. The advantage to doing more frequent releases is that new features end up with more real-world testing within a given block of time, on average, because a lot more people pick up the releases than the CVS snapshots or even release candidates.. -- Kevin Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
