I guess it depends on how frequently you maintain your projects. I've got some that require weekly maintenance and others that won't change for months. It seems easier for me to publish a project 'snapshot' and know that further updates to the Zend Framework won't break them unexpectedly or require a lot of work to bring it back into line - a good example here is two projects I have with the new MVC and a whole bunch of others that aren't. It would allow me to maintain all sites with my own framework additions and not need to worry about major rewrites too often (Zend_Config, for example! :-)

Thanks for the heads-up Darby

I considered this method myself for my own projects, but the amount of time it would take to the normal checkout/update/commit cycle seemed a bit excessive. Additionally, in this thread, we'd have to deal with two separate branches of the entire framework - library under both trunk & incubator.

Perhaps for a release that is pegged to a specific tag, it would make more sense, but for development, it seems like an awful lot of work. Am I being too critical?
