That's what I said : ) "Yet, at the core, it's all software, and it all sucks, sorry to break the bad news : P A stable release can be just as unstable as a cvs snapshot. So, in that respect, it would seem logical that you should simply go with what's working (fcrozat@ demonstrated this well with the Mozilla 0.9.9 dispute before 8.2 was slated final) and not based on the version number (sometimes, a new digit on a version scheme doesn't mean anything *cough* MS *cough*)."

Being that all things are impermanent, this process is constant. If one realizes such, the process is in all actuality, one step. A motion that can not be reversed, but may be halted. Both ways does this sway.
