really going to help much. There may ultimately still be some value in them,
but most people who suggest this sort of solution seem to be under the
impression that it would somehow stop accidental code breakage, and that isn't
The point of long-term stable release is not that no bugs ever can be
introduced. The point is that there are fewer changes and no language
and library changes which force the user to update his source code are
introduced (accept-invalid aside, maybe).
Currently users have to choice either:
- stick with some old release with no bugfixes at all
- always upgrade to the latest release, which mixes bugfixes, language
and library changes.
What if user want just regressions and (some) major bugs fixed ?
Also long-term stable release would make a base against which
deprecations can be marked.
