I was mostly just thinking about the range of options (in general) between taking the position that 1.8 should only allow bugfixes, and that any new development should go into 1.10, and taking a more liberal position as (in part) a way to release new features sooner (at least those that don't break backward compatibility). Of course in the former case, there would be more pressure for a earlier 1.10 release. Of course each approach has its advantages and disadvantages, both from the developer's perspective, and the user's perspective. -- Rob Browning rlb @defaultvalue.org and @debian.org; previously @cs.utexas.edu GPG starting 2002-11-03 = 14DD 432F AE39 534D B592 F9A0 25C8 D377 8C7E 73A4 _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
