That is because, Lennart, you don't care for the release at all. You are using the CVS code, lobby others to use the binaries you prepare from CVS, and therefore an officially released version of Emacs has no real value to you. Why care about it, if there's always tomorrow's CVS? You are, of course, entitled to think and act like that, but that's not how most of Emacs users think and act, evidently. Most Emacs users want an officially released version, or are forced by their sysadmins to use official versions, because they still believe that an official release has higher quality than today's snapshot. Please respect those views. They don't really interfere with what you want, since there's now a release branch, and changes that fix the bugs that so annoy you can still be checked in to the trunk, from where you can produce a binary that is free of those bugs. What David (and others) were talking about was about freezing (_really_ freezing) the release branch. I don't see why you should disagree with that, as the fixed version will be ready on the trunk in no time.
