Why not? Does it really matter? They *are* maintenance updates. That still doesn't change the fact that it is a "release" of some sort. Our release media are simply better versions of past media. They offer more hardware support and hopefully fewer bugs, but there isn't exactly a whole lot else going on with them. Even the new Installer LiveCD images that we are moving towards is nothing more than a slow evolution from our current InstallCD/PackageCD setup. It is a natural progression more than a huge leap. Sure, it makes things much easier on new users, but it isn't exactly revolutionary. I also am not so presumptuous to say that what I do within Release Engineering specifically impacts on what you guys do in infra on a day to day basis, or what the portage team does, or what hardened does. We all have our own directions. When our paths overlap, we cooperate. When they do not, we stay the hell out of each other's hair. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead x86 Architecture Team Games - Developer Gentoo Linux
