(or 5.x) We also specifically do not allow new functionality in branches other then current without a VERY good reason[0]. This is to avoid losing the functionality in later releases which annoys the users. -- Brooks [0] For example, we might allow a 80386 only feature (if such a thing existed) to be implemented in 5-STABLE without going in to 6-CURRENT since there would be no point in adding it to a branch without 80386 support. --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
