we released 4.2.2 less than a week ago. If we release any new package within
2weeks to a month, i feel it'll just infuriate system admins more. People
don't want to be installing new packages every week for the same product.
Of all the complaints i hear about PHP, one of the biggest is the frequency
of packages; it's too much for people to cope with.
I suggest that if you want fixes, use snapshots or cvs... and we release
packages every few months which have been QA tested and are fit for
production use.
