If it's ready now, or even ready enough to go on in a preliminary snapshot and be polished up over the rest of the release process, then by all means. If it isn't, waiting on "just one more feature" (or several one more features, as it turns out) isn't worth it. Put it into 016 and release that six months down the track, like 015 was supposed to be, and it won't be long to wait.
If something isn't ready now, it should be cut. The release is already a year late. Deferring it for blue-sky features is silly when they could go into the start of the next release, and not be vapourware. If it is ready to go however, just put it in already and the rough spots can be ironed out later. -Michael _______________________________________________ gobolinux-devel mailing list gobolinux-devel@lists.gobolinux.org http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-devel
