Ubuntu WordPress? ;D
So what, Lean concept and model was taken from Toyota's manufacturing
(which is about cars), and now it's successfully implemented in software
development (some claims it's better than Agile/Scrum)...
and Ubuntu is far not the worst Open Source project from where we can
learn stuff.

From what I heard this weekend from Matt, there really is going to be

really can't be reversed engineered without a lot of work, especially if they

on some of the later work (and server updates).
Think of it as the time line being moved up. There is also the issue that if
you don't have
anyone who wants to adopt it and spend their time on 2.0 as apposed to the
newer versions,
there is not going to be much work put into it.
The reasons I can see for not upgrading would primarily be lack of server
support for more
recent PHP and mySQL..
What you might want to do is assist them in updating to at least 2.5.... Not
surprisingly, I have
found several holdouts wind up really liking widgets and some of the new hooks.
It's a good question.
As for me, the only lack of feature WordPress has, is it's stability. I
mean there will always be updates and features wp-devs will want to
implement, and thanks god they brought that automatic upgrade tool. But
when it comes to stability and long term support, it's hard for me (as
an example) to recommend the WordPress to a user who doesn't care too
much about features and is looking for something he will afford
forgetting to update.
WordPress wins a lot from plugins, and the community itself are the
plugin users and developers, but this can turn into bad if somebody uses
a plugin which is no more (or lazily) supported by its author on a new
WordPress release.
I remember I had to wait weeks until qTranslate developer will commit
the fix to the broken plugin's wysiwyg integration. And this is all
cause WordPress HAS NO legacy or LTS (search for Ubuntu LTS for
reference) branches.
I dream of a WordPress snapshot developed as a stable/legacy branch,
which I will prefer using for my projects instead of going upstream with
cutting edge features and the risk of getting left behind when it comes
to plugins.
P.S.: I raised this question some time ago, but it seems that not too
many people care about it.
Happy hacking :)

Betreff: [wp-testers] Whats up with the legacy 2.0 branch?
Hi,
What is the current status of the legacy 2.0 branch?
Seems that the WordPress team already deleted support for this branch
but i can't find information about when this happen and why?....
Isn't this branch the one that promised "security and critical fixes
until 2010"?[1]...
Is it cause debian lenny moved on to 2.5.x?[2]...
Sorry but i just want clarification of this issue cause some people
are still using the legacy branch and they don't want to move on up
the latest stable for his own personal matters so i guess is better
ask here if there gonna be a complete drop over the support of the
legacy 2.0 branch or well another branch will be used as the legacy
branch.
