This is not nastiness, if you don't like the way the project manages release lifecycle, you have workarounds : - Test new release-candidates to verify no regression pop up in your standard setup, fill PRs about problems if needed and help project developpers to make the release better. - Pay someone to maintain the One True Release that suits your particular needs. - Use an os/distro that has the kind of long term support you seem to need. You just can't expect to moan on a mailing list about hypothetical bugs that would impact your setup and be welcomed as the new messiah as you demand extended support for a previous release just because you haven't done your homework. -- > Follow-up fmb.linux, parce que la charte de fca.emacs, redigee par mes > soins, interdit les trolls GNU Emacs/XEmacs, sur lesquels je suis le > premier a me lancer :-) -+- JK in guide du linuxien pervers - bien configurer sa charte -+-
