You must not be aware of the introduction of the -stable and -current streams. Release times in the past have been fairly disorganised times. Many people (all volunteers) were under a lot of pressure. I'm glad I was not a cog in those wheels. The new scheme has 2.2 under construction while 2.1 is being tidied and polished. When 2.1 is immaculate, it will be released, and 2.2 will become -stable, while 2.3 will be created as -current. I for one am impressed with the dedication of the core team to this parallel development system. It requires a lot of extra work, and they aren't the ones that benefit. We are. I expect an excellent 2.1 (and up) will result from this system. Stephen McKay.
