Well that's a philosophical question that will challenge us forever. Yes, it solves a potential bug in the stable. No, it is new behaviour, because I didn't expected large programs.
Also, some bug fixes may involve many areas and quite some time, it puts us in the position to ask this question on a more or less daily basis. My position would be that bugfixes relate to official bugreports, the rest is the 'normal' evolution. Bugfixes then should 'somehow' be propagated to the stable and made available thru nightly builds. A workable method is required, because people (starting with me) are definitely to forget to maintain two branches continously. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
