Well, the idea is currently that we will provide such releases with extra QA |
| 13 |
for especially enterprice users. Basically such a release will be a snapshot |
| 14 |
of the then current stable tree with necessary QA etc. This certainly does |
| 15 |
not mean that we will stop offering a stable and testing tree. It is actually |
| 16 |
expected that most developers will run testing trees, but it is an effort to |
| 17 |
make gentoo an option for enterprise users that want to be able to run |
| 18 |
updates without fear of things changing. |
