In my experience - from projects I participated as well were I just observed - release branches with CVS often end with more pain than freezes. It is of course hard to predict what would happen in this project with these developers in this situation. And well, as said 5.3 is a quite big release and has many things where errors can be introduced and I guess we all want it out soonish as stable as possible ... > We all know your reasons for the freeze and agree with it but holding > up regular development is a PITA. HEAD is the development branch. 5.3 should only get stable stuff anyways. And I assume you are committing only well tested stuff to 5.3 which means you have some way of management outside CVS assisting you during development and testing of your stuff. About the extension of the freeze for the migration: I think we first should have a window for getting some fixes in before doing the migration so at least some of the backlog can be cleared. As far as I know there's n final complete migration plan and there might be people who want to play a little with the test repo once 5.3 is out. johannes -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
