People who add a "me, too" for a new stable branch seem to think that they fit their needs. What does not fit your needs with the current stable handling? I would like to have a more continous flow of changes from dev over some testing branch to stable. As indicated in my initial mail. That would people working on this idea and keeping it alive though. Given that no one seemed to be interested but man seem to be interested to get a new stable/2010 branch the same way we had for 2009 it seems the most practical way to get one at all, no? Other models will only work if enough support from the active contributors is available. Without this even the best idea might die. regards Stefan Schmidt
