Understandable. However, bugfix releases are more likely automatically downloaded by distributions, while major KDE releases are not. So providing bugfix releases as long as we can affects quite a lot of people. Hence, backport + another maintenance release is quite welcome (if there are fixed bugs in the branch). ...of course nothing really new, but worth to mention once in a while. That is: developers should be stressed more to backport ;) Dominik _______________________________________________ release-team mailing list release-team@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team
