This effectively means that there's no widely-known starting point for the branched development. If we branch from the previous stable release, then we at least know the initial state will match our previous condition. However, if we branch from devel, the resulting initial state will NOT match what people have come to expect from Rawhide. I think that would introduce far too much uncertainty to the branching process. - -- Stephen Gallagher RHCE 804006346421761 Delivering value year after year.
