But what does 6.2 bring to the party ? A nice straightforward version upgrade in two or three months' time (which will help accustome people to more frequent releases), but I don't see anything to attract people to test it. Now, I'm one of the people who hates rushing into new versions and new methods, so part of me thinks "good, time to stabilise the more interesting developments", but most people here want to be nearer the bleeding edge. Or should I be reading this as "let BLFS have more time to prepare for gcc-4 and multiple architectures" ?
