Quote of the week

I think the interesting point is how we're moving away from the "global development" model (ie everything breaks at the same time between 2.4.x and 2.6.x), and how the fact that we're trying to maintain a more stable situation may well mean that we'll see more of the "local development" model where a specific subsystem goes through a development series, but where stability requirements mean that we must not allow it to disturb existing users.

And even more interestingly (at least to me), the question might become one of "how does that affect the tools and build and configuration infrastructure", and just the general flow of development.
