It doesn't really affect me as I usually run the bleeding edge 'next', but I think most of our users feel warm and fuzzy about running a released version. As a community we need to help Junio get stable releases out more often, so users can benefit from the improvements we've made. -- Shawn. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
