Why not? Does it really matter? They *are* maintenance updates. That |
| 10 |
still doesn't change the fact that it is a "release" of some sort. Our |
| 11 |
release media are simply better versions of past media. They offer more |
| 12 |
hardware support and hopefully fewer bugs, but there isn't exactly a |
| 13 |
whole lot else going on with them. |

Even the new Installer LiveCD images that we are moving towards is |
| 16 |
nothing more than a slow evolution from our current InstallCD/PackageCD |
| 17 |
setup. It is a natural progression more than a huge leap. Sure, it |
| 18 |
makes things much easier on new users, but it isn't exactly |
| 19 |
revolutionary. |

I also am not so presumptuous to say that what I do within Release |
| 22 |
Engineering specifically impacts on what you guys do in infra on a day |
| 23 |
to day basis, or what the portage team does, or what hardened does. We |
| 24 |
all have our own directions. When our paths overlap, we cooperate. |
| 25 |
When they do not, we stay the hell out of each other's hair. |
