I like running shr-t, as I don't have the time to keep up with the changes in shr-u, but am happy to do so with shr-t, which is still current enough that bug reports are useful. However shr-t has occasionally proven unusable for me, and it's good to have access to a reasonably frozen release which I know works. I don't see the images of shr-t from last year which are planned to transition to stable on the website. I'd be happier if older images of shr-t were available, so I could rely on getting a known working image onto my phone. A large reason I was looking forward to a stable release was essentially for this. But I suppose the same could be acheived by keeping old testing images around. Call it shr-stable-0.1 if you want, or shr-testing-2009, but an older release, which I know has no bugs which stop me from using my openmoko as a basic phone, is important to me. That way I can continue to run a less stable version most of the time (and report bugs against it), safe in the knowledge that if something breaks I can still easily get to a usable phone.
