Well, I don't expect that the "switch will be thrown" quite as neatly as some here might hope. I'm more inclined to suspect that 2.1 will be followed by 2.1.1, 2.1.2, etc. 2.2 will be released with its own experimental enhancements going on point releases of 2.2, etc. The only serious question still to be resolved is just when the "rollover" happens? Does 2.1.x live forever, or does it get abandoned with 2.2.x is "stable?" Does 2.1 just become 2.3 at some point, leaving the odd numbered releases as the "stable" ones and the even numbered ones as "experimental?" When does 2.2.x get abandoned in favor of 2.4 then? In short, we may be digging ourselves a deep hole if we can't decide just how this is all going to work. Jordan
