Yeah, gentoo has tried quarterly releases before, back in 2004. The releases |
10 |
were of poor quality and the release engineering devs hated the lack of a break |
11 |
between almost constant release cycles. |

You say it should only be stages, but if we do that, people will say that we |
14 |
should just refresh the minimal CD with a new kernel. And then people will argue |
15 |
that we should just refresh the LiveCD for new versions of large packages, |
16 |
because they don't want to do all the compiling to update to a new version. |

Are you going to take the time to become a dev, contribute to the effort of |
19 |
building and testing these refreshes, fix bug, and all the other stuff that goes |
20 |
along with it? |
