Speaking of 4.0 patches...
What are your thoughts on managing miscellaneous patches for upcoming
releases? I took a quick peek at the SVN tree, but I didn't see any
branches for 4.0, etc. I know you keep a nice detailed Wishlist, but
if a patch for 4.0 suddenly materializes, where do you keep track of that?
I'm also curious about your reasoning, from a project management standpoint,
because you're one of the most careful people I've seen about breaking
ABI compatibility. Is the lack of future branches due to it being a pain
to manage, or just the lack of such patches coming in?
Thanks,
- Chris
