Maybe even numbers == stable, odd numbers == > development? (Like release numbers). But then you can't say "if release > number > x"...

"Backporting some source incompatible things regarding skin API from HEAD to stable" should be regarded as a no-no inside same stable releases series. Does this make sense? Josef > > N |
