Well since we haven't begun work on a 7.2 release, everything committed since 
7.0.28 is technically a bug fix.

Even the app_config.xml configuration file 
(http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/ClientAppConfig) started its life as a 
power user bug fix.  Ideally, at some point in time, we can figure out a sane 
set of policies that the client/server can use to implement that functionality 
automatically.

I recognize Steffen, Gianfranco, and all the Linux package maintainers have a 
really hard job.  They are constantly trying to balance BOINC project goals 
with the Linux distro policies.

From my perspective any build in the 7.0b branch past 7.0.28 should be able to 
be considered stable from a package maintainers perspective.  Do I need to 
change something to better support our Linux package maintainers?

Probably Steffen compares the current BOINC version history + release 
management with the one of the linux kernel development model (which I like 
too).

Said that, he's expecting (and I'd appreciate that too) that 7.0.x is just a 
bug fix version of 7.0.(x-1) rather than a feature-added version, right ?
