I'm not even sure about this argument, though. Being able to upgrade quickly, regardless of version number, in order to get new functionality (such as .rref() ) is also very valuable in the educational environment, at least at institutions that have no choice but Sage for a comprehensive system. But also from the developer perspective, I think that the "endless rebasing" argument is very important, given that it is a volunteer project, but one with a fairly large number of developers (I assume?) for one that doesn't always have well-defined "modules" that will be touched by a few developers each. And one with developers whose day job is usually not directly related to programming! - kcrisman -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
