Note that a stable bugfix-only branch doesn't have to be maintained by the same person who maintains the development branch, and often these _are_ different people. The main limiting factor is a volunteer to do the work. You can always do an "unofficial" bugfix-only release and get it blessed later. (That's how the Windows and MacOS X binary releases seem to work.) Rob -- "One of my most productive days was throwing away 1000 lines of code." - Ken Thompson.
