I think that should be discussed. It's not that substantial when facing
_years_ without release, but I consider Source Mage a rolling release
distro of sorts, and twice a year is not much of rolling. Perhaps that
would mean declaring 'stable' something more like debian stable and the
normal home-user grimoire is supposed to be test, like it usually was
because stable releases were so rare most of the time.

Btw, having a stable grimoire per month, archived as such, provides an
easy way to access snapshots that isolate various tricky upgrades,
taking them in small steps with that box that updated a year ago last
time.

But we agree that we should push for our devel branch stuff in a stable
grimoire rather soon-ish, or not? So, have the discussion about release
cycles _after_ 0.63?

Well, let's just start and see. For a desktop machine with not too
anciend video card, the xorg devel stuff is just necessary.


Alrighty then,

Thomas
