Perhaps in our PR/bugs documentation, we could recommend that: A patch against the CURRENT or HEAD CVS branch is preffered since all new code should be applied and tested first. After appropriate or substational testing has been done, the code will be merged/migrated to the STABLE branch. What is the general opinion of the -doc team on this? -- Tom Rhodes
