Take as an example the file format change, with lyx2lyx when there is a change in file format we commit at the same time both a converter and a backconverter, and most of the time this is quite stable. Where is the instability here? Really, if you consider that the linux kernel has a greater complexity than lyx (I do) notice how they have managed to introduce new features without the need for an unstable branch. > >>>> http://wiki.lyx.org/Devel/UnsortedNotes > > > > It is difficult to find a better five states analogy. > > Maybe terrorism threat level? ;-) :-D > /C -- José Abílio
