I have a concept of stable version and development version. V3 is the
stable release branch, and should not be disturbed except for bug
fixes. V4 is where all new features go.
In not very long, V4 will enter code freeze, and we will open a V5
branch where all new features will go.

Filesystem users want conservative release management. This is not
gimp, this is a filesystem. It must be a zero defect product or it is
useless.

This is all part of what responsible release management is about. I
was the junior whiz kid in professional release management teams before
starting Namesys. I listened to my elders and learned from them. My
standards for professional conduct in this arena are higher than yours
as a result of that.

You are a bunch of young kids who lack professional experience in
release management. That is ok, but don't get aggressive about it.

I have no desire to pay for your mistakes, and as the official
maintainer it is my responsibility to ensure that neither I nor the
users pay for the mistakes of those who add bugs to stable branches
instead of adding them to the development branches where they belong.
