</div> This argument makes some sense (if a bit overblown) - we do seem more<br>
concerned about not updating than not releasing in the first place -<br>
e.g. while its true we delayed systemd - the general noise level<br>
suggests it was still not solid enough ... once its released 'core'<br>
components get less love coz making changes is bad ...<br>
<br>
This seems a bit odd ... we're cutting edge - but if the cut smells<br>
then its too bad ...<br>
<br>
I still strongly advocate for a rolling release - where single large<br>
core changes can be serialized if need be into the testing repo for as<br>
long as it takes to stabilize them (or pulled back out as a unit) - and<br>
smaller improvements and bug fixes can continue unimpeded ... now we<br>
could be truly leading edge.<br>
