* So he wanted only to support -stable in the future. But I think * this is a step behind. I perfectly understand that. * Figure out, if ports are only made for stable ... If -current * does more and more incompatible changes to -stable ... Who * should done the fine work of porting perhaps 1250 ports * to -current, which will become 3.0-RELEASE and 3.0-STABLE after * that ??? That is a very good point, one that I should have mentioned in my first post. * This is not a decision of dropping a pet toy, it is * a decision of a release engineer, who is responsible * for the direction of the OS and that a ports collection * doesn't get out of sync with everything other than 2.2-STABLE. The only problem is that there is no "release engineer" that does all that; Jordan (among others) does the releases, but I build the packages. I think what you are saying is closer to David's job (as the Principal Architect) than Jordan's though. Satoshi
