You realize that I wasn't the one mentioning the 4 releases-a-year idea first? I was one of them saying that it *would* be possible if Debian was released just as a 'core', with other parts released independently. But I believe I pointed out enough of the problems with that to make clear that I don't propose Debian should do that. > You realise that we haven't had a releasable libc in unstable since > around August? See Noah's mail. For the records: I'm quite happy with the way Debian works right now. I felt that this thread was one of the few threads about release cycles etc. that was not degrading into name-calling quite quickly - some interesting ideas are examined, I learned something about the *BSD model etc. Yes, it's probably all been said before - sorry, haven't been around then. > ObBug: 154768 Don't know what you want to say here. cheers -- vbi -- featured product: Debian GNU/Linux - http://debian.org
