For what it's worth, I'd say there a benefit to branching as late as possible. If there aren't any items waiting to be committed to the upcoming 1.9 tree, then the longer we can continue working (toward the release) on the main branch, the fewer commits will have to be applied to two branches. (Oh, and I still have at least one outstanding bit that needs to go into 1.7. I need to add the slib changes. I hope to get to that later today or sometime tomorrow.) -- Rob Browning rlb @defaultvalue.org and @debian.org; previously @cs.utexas.edu GPG starting 2002-11-03 = 14DD 432F AE39 534D B592 F9A0 25C8 D377 8C7E 73A4 _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
