It's also one way to get something out the door. I tend to agree with this; it fits in quite well with the even/odd numbering strategy that came up about a year ago, where even-numbered releases are 'major feature updates', and minor numbered releases are 'stability updates'. > If need be, make it clear to people that 2.1.5R may be a more suitable > choice for the sake of stability, and follow up with a 2.2.5R cleanup > release to handle the problems discovered in 2.2R. I would be more inclined to have 2.2 out at some point, and then have a 2.2-stable thread (if personpower can be found for it) leading hopefully to a 2.3 release, and with development proceeding along the 2.4-current thread. > I am curious to know if -core has an opinion on where the line should > be (or maybe even has been) drawn.
