It sounds good at first, but sounds less so when you actually have to merge the branches - this can be very difficult to do when lots of time has gone by, especially when various (software) interface/infrustructure changes have been made to both branches. They only way it would work would be if the time differential were kept very short (perhaps one month or less). -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project - http://www.freebsd.org Creator of high-performance Internet servers - http://www.terasolutions.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to [email protected] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
