Bah. That's insanity. A bug fix is a bug fix. We never took votes for bug fixes for 1.3, and I see no reason to start now. Feature changes? Sure, we voted for those. Seriously, people. If there is a bug, then it should be fixed no matter where it lies. Sure, there can be some waffling based on *how* a bug is fixed, and hopefully people will know when to ask. What's the problem with fixing a bug. Really? And remember: this *is* source control. If somebody commits a bug fix and people want to shoot it down, then we can revert it. But assuming correctness and committing the fix is hella better than gating every single little change. Cheers, -g -- Greg Stein, http://www.lyra.org/
