I wasn't advocating creating new branches or stuff, just *saying* on the website whether the current dev branch (svn trunk) is in heavy dev, feature freeze or bugfixes only. It's only a matter of communication, I certainly did not advocate maintaining a new "stable but cuting edge" svn branch.

-1 What's the benefit of that over our current system where 0.96 is stable (except for major security fixes), and the active development is going on in trunk? This has been documented: http://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2007/apr/06/changes/ - people should be using the 0.96 release on

Evening all, Speaking as a triager, I originally thought that an "easy-fix" category would help solve these issues. However, after doing quite a bit of ticket twiddling, these easy fix/ low hanging fruit don't hang around very long anyway. The tend to get closed pretty quickly, even without
