That's pretty cynical. :-) Needless to say, I don't agree. I'm being very careful not to introduce new bugs and, in fact, 2.2.6 is probably going to get more testing than any previous 2.2.x release in history. You give us too little credit here, I'm afraid. > Whether -current is officially a *RELEASE* or not, I'm ready to move > away from -stable and I would love to get a -current SNAP which is a > really good one, before the next tidal wave of architectural changes > hits the -current tree. If you're really interested in moving away from -current in a *meaningful* way then you're not interested in my CD anyway. You'll want to track -current with CVSup until it reaches some level of stability that you, personally, are happy with and then stop for awhile. As someone already pointed out, the SNAP CDs are for a different purpose and not really aimed at someone like yourself. That's what our source tracking tools are for.
