It shouldn't be all that much development work to merge fixes from cvs 
head to a stable branch, but we would need more testing to see whether 
the fixes work as well there (maybe a little fix relies on something 
bigger that also needs to be merged before it works alright). Is anyone 
tracking the 1.0 branch? If not, would a 1.0.1 release candidate be 
needed to get any testing at all before it is declared as better than 
1.0? Now you have something that requires time and efforts..

There is also such small things such as saying "Hey, I would like to see 
this fix on the stable branch as well. Any chance it can be 
back-ported?" when you see something interesting entering the cvs head. 
Silence is too easily seen as lack of interest.. and if no one shows 
interest in a stable branch it is much easier to not have one

I too wish to see bug fix updates, but are we big enough to pull that 
through? What about the old list of bugs. Where can I find people to 
help sort out what is relevant today and what is not?
