I don't know whether this was meant to be ironic or not. The old/5.0 branch will be created for two reasons: * we may want to do a future 5.0.x release, in case circumstances change * vendors providing longer support, such as Digia and Linux distributions, may want to integrate those changes in their own releases. One possible "circumstance change" is that the 5.1.0 release process takes longer than expected. If we can't get 5.1.0 out within 3 months of 5.0.2, I'll be among those requesting a 5.0.3 release. There are currently 101 patches in stable that aren't in releases (97 not cherry-picked, according to git cherry). -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center
