Sorry, I have swapped release and snapshot, which lead to wrong interpretations of what I've read (ie that ams does not want to make a new snapshot, but that was about 2 years ago on some site I do not find right now). Thanks for clearing this out. No, I do not see a _need_ to make a new one, since not much has changed. Things would look exactly the same as they do with the current snapshot. > Also, some now believe that not having released for such a long > time, expectations have risen, and thus no further releases > should be made unless it's close to perfect... Silly argument > IMHO; but well, I'm not the one to decide. I am not the one to decide either, but I think a release is possible within the next 5 (to be pessimistic). I don't, not even in a 10 year frame to be honest. We said the exact same thing in 1997 infact, that in 5 years we would have a (as usable as any GNU/Linux system out there) system, now it is 10 years later.
