I think there seem to be two concepts here (as J-D said in his first email): stable release vs. stable branch. So how should we interpret this single stable symlink ? Thanks On Wed, Sep 12, 2012 at 4:09 PM, Jean-Daniel Cryans wrote: > On Wed, Sep 12, 2012 at 4:00 PM, Ted Yu wrote: > > Let's co

Let's consider the following scenario in chronological order: 0.92.x is released 0.94.y is released 0.92.x+1 is released Would the stable symlink point alternately to each of the releases as they're available ? Or should we have two symlinks, one for 0.92 branch, one for 0.94 branch ? Thanks On

Considering that we tag a "release" as stable, and only one at a time, how does that quote even relate? To me it's completely orthogonal. J-D On Wed, Sep 12, 2012 at 3:47 PM, Ted Yu wrote: > Renaming subject since the discussion may be long. > > Allow me to quote Todd from another email thread:

Renaming subject since the discussion may be long. Allow me to quote Todd from another email thread: bq. I think we should be especially conservative about adding even non-invasive features to "stable" branches. Since 0.94 is considered stable, should the above be applicable ? Thanks On Wed, S
