I totally agree with that for the beta cycle. However, once the first relea= se=20 candidate is out, there are only a handful of bugs left, right? (The=20 so-called "showstoppers", I mean.) Why should all KDE developers be focused= =20 on these few bugs when there are so many others to work on? Besides, it see= ms=20 as if I'm actually prevented from fixing bugs because only showstopper fixe= s=20 can be applied to HEAD during the RC phase. Once HEAD enters RC, I feel it should be branched to KDE_3_1_BRANCH or=20 whatever the next stable release is. That way, HEAD could be opened up for= =20 non-showstopper bug fixes. > There's no harm in waiting a few more weeks, if it takes=20 > that much, to begin working for 3.2. 3.1, however, can't wait. I guess that's where I have disagreement. I don't think we should have forc= ed=20 everyone to work on a few showstopper bugs during the four-week RC cycle we= =20 just had. I just don't think it's very efficient to have 50 developers fixi= ng=20 5 or so bugs. Trevor
