Hmm, That's confusing. I thought 0.9.9 was meant to be for raring and 0.9.10 was meant to be what S was going to track? Didier, Daniel and I had established that the "raring" branch wasn't really the right way to do it, and the better way was to create a 0.9.9 "stable" branch used for SRUs. Its also confusing because compiz doesn't need an "active" development branch other than whatever is targeted towards going into S. If this situation was the case, then 0.9.9 would effectively be the "active development series" and there wouldn't be much point on working on 0.9.10. The other thing I was going to ask to was this: This cycle compiz was branched into raring and 0.9.9 and then 0.9.9 and 0.9.10 a little earlier (February) than the rest of the stack. That means that for any change that affects unity, the 0.9.10 "active development" branch effectively had to have its changes limited to the current unity release cycle at the time, and we couldn't make any API changes or behavioral changes in compiz that would require any kind of significant work in unity. For S, will we be able to set a date in stone when we will be able to branch every PS project? That will mean that every project can organize their release cycle around that.
