This would encourage people to use the unstable distribution, which by definition isn't considered ready for prime time. The truth is that there are tradeoffs; a one-word name just isn't going to capture those tradeoffs. If anything, the right term for unstable might be "head" or "tip" -- or would that be experimental? But what do I know? I'm just a random user. It does seem to me that we've had the name game a few times, and every time a dev has strongly indicated that we should leave well enough alone. -- monique -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
