I was going to stay quiet on this issue until after 1.6.3 released, but now you have opened the topic. :) I think seeing the quality of topics in 'next' is only half of "success". You have to also consider how much attention was given to the about-to-be-released version (and its impact on quality). And I think we won't know about that until we see how quickly we need 1.6.3.1. :) Personally, I know that I have spent much less time focusing on 'master'. Like everyone else, I have limited git bandwidth, and topics in 'next' are simply more interesting. I think it's easier to put them aside for a few weeks if everybody agrees to do so (rather than having interesting discussion proceeding without you if you choose to focus on 'master'). -Peff -- 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
