But that's nothing more than some arbitrary mojo to say, "today this is

At some point we (OS.o, not Sun) will wish to produce a named milestone
release so that it can go on and try something new. Up till now, the
bi-weekly builds have been good-enough, but the pressure is building
to checkpoint this long chain of development and let it settle into a
production release with all the support implications that such a release
implies.
I don't know when this will happen, but I know it will, because if it
doesn't, we (as an extended community) will have a hard time producing
supportable and viable production level distros.
Once it happens, we will immediately vector off into a long discussion
about what the next development push should be like, what our values,
goals and givens are, and how to proceed. One of the things we will
need to agree on is the release taxonomy of that new development effort.
But that is the topic for another message :-)
