I would prefer C, or at least to release 1.2.4 very soon. First, because the 1.2.3 release has some really serious bugs. Regarding the build system, there were a few ones (see [1]) hitting packagers, distros and developers. I also would like to see a new Rosegarden release in the forthcoming Mandriva 2007 release, which may be released soon. Also the Jack synchronization bug (#1479000) was pretty serious too. The last one, about /dev/snd/seq is also worth, because it affected every Ubuntu user and others. There are 43 bug reports closed since the 1.2.3 release, if I've counted correctly. I've not committed every bugfix to both branches, only the few ones I've posted already, and nobody else has done a single commit to the stable_1_2_4 branch since the Subversion migration. For instance, there are several LilyPond bugs fixed by Heikki Junes, which are only on trunk at this moment. I've also invested some time in maintenance tasks on this branch, as you can remember (there was needed a directory reorganization, fix properties and recover PNG files and other resources damaged after the migration). I thought it was worth to spend the effort. I would be disappointed if we throw it away.
