I whole-heartedly agree and encourage a slip to foster stability and a
polished release if required. I have tried virtually all version of mdk
since 7.0. I am still running 7.2 as a server because of the problems that
have been left in all releases since 7.2. To call 8.2 a victory in polish I
think misses the mark. But to be fair, 8.2 was born during the fight to go
from gcc 2.96 to the 3.0X variety that gave all of the major packages
headaches or hangovers depending on how you look at it.
Bottom line, forget focusing on just getting the next number release out
to stay ahead in the numbers game, get the next release out right. I've said
it before and I'll say it again, if 9.2 is as clean and reliable as 7.2
was/is, the mdk folks will have hit a home run.
