Hi all, I like the overall concept - just some small things.
1. Having people wait for critical bugfixes for 6 months is quite long - can we do better? 2. Do we plan to do update releases, e.g. 9.1, or 9.0 patch 1 (as before) with just some cherrypicked stuff onto the existing release base branch? How does this fit in with NetCAT, e.g. just do some sanity checks for the patch release?
