I know I will probably be shunned for the rest of my natural life for suggesting this, but here goes. How difficult would it be to change things around a little with the development branches? It seems there are a few problems with 3.3-RC (including determining what RC means) and this makes it hard in my opinion for people with production boxes to cvsup to the -STABLE branch if they are hoping to solve problems or get the latest patches and fixes. I would be in favor of a -PRODUCTION branch that can never contain code that hasn't been tested for a while. I would also like to propose a -BETA branch which would be -PRODUCTION with new code added. It seems to me that the name -STABLE is confusing many people and they seem to believe that it isn't actually stable unless it is in the -STABLE branch when this isn't always the case. The only other suggestion is a possible change of -CURRENT to -DEVELOPMENT which would better describe what that branch is actually for. Thanks for your time, I'm getting into my firesuit now.
