I think such a freeze would kill GNUstep.
Yes, freezing repositories doesn't really help. But freezing an
ABI / a version is very good for all people who just want to use
the library. And by this I don't mean endusers but developers which
want to develop ObjC on Linux/BSD/Windows.
As mentioned I think that a LOT of people will be using alpha
releases to get the latest and greatest. As mentioned before for
OGo I guess this is about 50/50 in the user base. Notably the
"stable 50" or often newbies which first need to get into the
system w/o being exposed to update issues and other sideeffects
they do not care about when getting it up and running. The stable
OGo (1.0) packages are very well tested and all install-issues are
well known and well supported by the community.
I completely agree with Helge - and I fail to understand why people
are against such a release strategy, it does not hurt anyone, in
contrary...
