It's good to discuss what policy we want to follow. But until now we did not have that policy. Many features have been added to the stable branch in the past. That made me think that people didn't have problems with new features in stable, as long as the imact of these new features on overall stability is minimal. I understand your point, and I might agree to the bugfixes-only policy. We have to discuss that in the stable team. But until now it was not a policy. Thijs |
