The bottom line is that, as I said, the trick in good opensource software is taking calculated risks, and mixing agility with quality assurance. One can look through your binary glasses, and then it's either complete lack of quality, or complete lack of risks, and one can look with reasonable experienced eyes and strive to get to the right mixture. I, for one, don't enjoy looking through these binary glasses.

    of course, patchlevel releases are part of that Great Plan.

I think most (probably not all) pl's were sparked due to security bugs which were found and we took the opportunity to add another couple of important fixes. Those kind of pl's would not have been prevented by any Great Plan. Andi
