Tradition (and at this point it's one that I agree with) says that only stability and security improvements get committed to the branches we're leaving behind after the most recent version branches. Adding new features to 3.x at this point would encourage people to stay with that branch. > We want 3.5 to be the "golden" release that > we use for production until 4.2 is ready and stable. Yes Brett, we're all well aware of what you want, you've stated it many times. However most of the project would prefer to help dispel the idea that the 4.x release isn't ready for production. That doesn't mean that you can't use whatever policy you want where you work, it just means that you don't need to tell us about it anymore.
