So, I was doing some archeology on past releases and we seem to be
getting into longer release cycles. With 4.2 we have already
crossed the 1 year barrier.
For 4.3 we have already added quite a bit of infrastructure that is
all good in paper but still needs some amount of TLC.
There was some discussion on IRC that I would like to move to the
mailing list so that we get a wider discussion. There's been
thoughts about skipping 4.2 completely, or going to an extended
Stage 3, etc.
Thoughts?
Just forget ADA and Java in mainstream. Both of them are seriously
impeding casual contributions.
The build setup through autoconf/automake/autogen/m4/..... has
problems in this area as well.
