I think that the goal should be solid support for the longest (within reason of course) amount of time. If I intend to write a document for a vendor explaining how to use OE as a build environment for their code, the intent should be that I don't have to re-write it again and again over the course of the next year (Ubuntu releases every 6 months). I think that one of the greatest reasons for a good solid branch is that documentation can truly be reliable because we're not aiming at a moving target. -- Shane Dixon Linux Engineer Atmel Corporation Office: 719.540.1123 E-mail: shane.dixon@atmel.com
