A few observations and some questions... Although 17.3 was branched in late October, 17.3.0 wasn't released until December 8th - about 6 weeks ago. 17.3.x also shipped with a pretty catastrophic DRI3 bug that caused tons of applications to segfault, which was fixed by 897c54d522ab960a879b763a15e489f630c491ee, but that hasn't yet made it into a shipping 17.3.x release. Arguably, I think 17.3.3 is going to be the first usable 17.3.x release. So...is it too early to branch for 18.0? - Have distros picked up 17.3.x yet? - Is there anything in master that people are excited about shipping? - There are about 2 months of work since the 17.3.x branch point (half of October, all of November, about half of December because so many people were on holidays). I'm wondering if a mid-February branch point and March release would make more sense, just to space them out. Then again, I've also suggested doing 3 releases a year in the past, since I thought they were too close together. So, if people disagree, I'm totally fine with that. Just asking the question :) --Ken
