Is that everyone seem to think that they need master. The majority should be using stable or next.

Now, I *know* that there are reasons (there are always reasons) why one might think that master is required. However, the main question for me is:

  How can we make people feel confident that they can use next ?

Or

How can we ensure that 'next' can be used except for a few packages that would go on master ?

The best way to start answering these questions is to answer another one:

  Why are you on master ?

Because i using syskit and the next version is even more unstable than master. I had several times that the depandancy between roby/syskit and other 'core' packages is hard. So i cannot stay a long time on next and only with syskit/roby on master. Indeed i'm not sure if i can currently use syskit/roby on next and everything else on master.

So generally speaking, incompatibilities between syskit/roby/utilmm/utilrb/typelib/orogen/ base/types/(std)


The Second point, is that the release cycle to next is to long for new features, i i (as rock-dev) add new features to rock. I take ofter months before it goes into next. Therefore i have (due to the same reasons above) switch to master, also for other members of my project. I would prefer a shorter release time between master/stable/next...



Best,
Matthias
