So I created a 'XAP_0.3.0_RC2'
If nobody objects I will delete the old one, as it serves no purpose.
And start checking things into trunk again. I'll wait till at least
Sunday afternoon/evening EST to do either.
subversion tags are cheap so there are no good reasons to delete them
but many good reasons to keep them. here are a couple:
the tag serves as a record of the process which create the release.
public development allows anyone who's interested to follow the
process now or at some time in the future. even given our best
efforts, real development is a messy and imperfect process. there is
no reason to hide this from the community.
there are pragmatic reasons for retention. occasionally, rogue
artifacts turn up possibly years down the line. it's a lot easier to
verify and understand them if the original tags are preserved.
