I am chuckling maniacally and delighting in how evil and wrong I am being. Don't like it? You have three (effective) options: 1. don't add regressions. The problem is that this actually falls into the categories 1a) don't mention regressions 1b) don't make significant enhancements 1c) don't contribute enhancements 2. fix (or help fix) any critical issues. This is usually implemented as 2a) shrug your shoulders since they don't concern you and wait another year. 3. build your own binary releases. Usually done as 3a) never mind, I got my own checkout. -- David Kastrup ___ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
