Hi, I know that the "stable" normally refers to the API etc. - but are "release-candidates" allowed in stable? Or asking differently: Would be a stable-stable-branch make sense? So that people could try out a new RC of a stable-package and others could stick to the latest "really stable"? Noticed DB 1.50RC2 today - not to say that anything instable was in there that I found - but I asked myself if the naming with RC is commonly agreed upon. Or should there have been 1.5.0 and 1.5.1 better? And how about releasing release-*candidates*? Stefan
