I differ on the assessment of the risk:benefit ratio.
I think instead of making this change in 2.5 we should do a better job of making timely releases. 2.5.0 is over a year old now, and we're nowhere near releasing 2.6. One thing i'd like to do at the hackfest is talk about what features people want in 2.6, and come up with some sort of plan for getting those features in and stabilizing the 2.6 branch. I declined a request from the board to be the release manager for 2.5. (Chris Radek picked up the slack, thank you for that!) I have volunteered to be release manager for 2.6, and that offer still stands. -- Sebastian Kuzminsky ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try New Relic Now & We'll Send You this Cool Shirt New Relic is the only SaaS-based application performance monitoring service that delivers powerful full stack analytics.
