Compared to Debian stable ... life cycle of Giant turtles ... etc. The longer the cycle continues without a release the more often users get told thing are fixed in CVS or the unstable branch but if they are not sure what they are doing then they should not use the unstable branch for important work. > If GEGL integration really is a hard problem, it's going to come out a > lot better if you take the time to do it right rather than rushing it.
