No I understand, but given that STABLE should be guarded more than CURRENT when it comes to noticing our userbase of potential ``dangerous' source update times I think the mail I sent out was justified and not trying to cause panic.

As well as the last few weeks/months of immediate MFC's. >> I am just giving people a warning to be careful the next few days in >> updating their system as I am sure the MFC rushing of some things might >> occur again. > >Again, if you are _sure_ that there will be problems then please >don't, if you aren't _sure_ then there's no reason to make people >fear the next release. I am sure that I am testing things before committing, as well as reading the logs to see what everything is about. I am not even considering major impact changes for MFC.
