Not neccessarily: At first, sway will be uploaded to "unstable" and unstable is actually quite very uptodate. After some days and if it's free from bugs of severity "serious" and higher, it will automatically migrate to "testing". So unstable and testing are actually usually quite uptodate and people run unstable and testing and they are used to create a number of popular derived distros, *buntu is one of them. So it's useful to have sway there and updated regularily. And then, there will be a freeze of testing at the end of this year and then sometime next year testing will be declared "stable". stable is free of major changes (well, except for firefox and the kernel and some…) and in general only receives security fixes. One easy way of preventing sway from being released as stable is to file a RC bug to prevent it from entering "testing". > On 2016-04-18 3:16 PM, Holger Levsen wrote: > > * License : BSD > Sway uses the MIT license. ah, thanks! -- cheers, Holger
