It's a little difference between being bug free (which is impossible), and not having wrong designs. When you'll put "stable" release now, then you couldn't upgrade it to next stable release without fiddling with opimd database. We should avoid things like that and work on unstable to make it usable, then transfer it to testing, and if people are happy with it - then to stable. And after that, support stable - backport most necessary fixes. When putting some old images as "stable", you can't do that sanely. -- Sebastian Krzyszkowiak dos _______________________________________________ Shr-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shr-project.org/mailman/listinfo/shr-devel
