Yeah, but unlike 3.0, I actually _know_ we're capable of producing releases of reasonable quality along the 2.2 branch and so the decision is pretty much of a no-brainer. Hell, this very fact that we were supposed to release 3.0 a year ago but have yet to do it is specifically why there is no "if" to the question of doing further releases along the 2.2-stable branch. Since it's been our long-stated goal to try and do reasonably well-tested releases every 3 to 4 months, until -current is deemed ready by even a reasonable percentage of the core team there's just no other place to go. On the bright side, there have certainly been more resources, monetary and otherwise, thrown behind the task of getting 3.0 ready for a Q4 '98 release than we've ever had behind a release before, so let's just stick with putting out the 2.2 releases for our existing 2.x user base (with I and others continuing to support the -stable branch) and working steadily towards getting 3.0 not only ready to release, but ready to run _reliably_ for those users brave enough to commit their critical resources to it when the time comes.
