For many projects, things become unstable after a major release. This is the time to experiment. Right before a major release, everything needs to settle down, with a focus on bugfixes and stability. That said, I know the "logic" of the make targets now, so I really don't care any more what they are named. I just meant to keep others from being confused. So I guess I'll go with the existing naming and fit quick-install-html right in. Will go into a new thread tomorrow or so. > Especially when that release burned the maintainer with numerous complains > against a major change in it, that has been advertised for a long time, > which was pushed by other people for no good reason other than "such a > clean-up would make things much tidier". > > Grrr ;-). Junio, I think you handled that in the best possible way, and I felt sympathetic with you when that thread with a RFC went OT back to discussing things over again.
