Here's what I suggest. Let's do, on a trial basis for the duration of
2.3dev, a branch that mirrors master but inserts patches to disable the
input and output of new file-format features (as well as layout changes,
etc.) after each file-format change. We would see if the idea works out.
I was going to do something like this anyway for myself, so I propose to
take care of it until it gains some momentum. At first we could just
make nightlies out of it for Ubuntu.
One roadblock that I am expecting is that the author of the original
file format change knows better than me how to block it, but in case of
trouble I can ask for advice. I plan to include the patches responsible
for file format changes and patch them afterwards, because otherwise I
expect the code to diverge too much. If at some point it no longer works
then I will stop.
I will call the branch ?unstable?.
Agreement? Suggestions?
So what is the goal here. Jut to get aditional testing from interested
parties or to make release from this branch at the end?
In a first time the goal would be to have nightlies, if Liviu agrees
that we reuse his infrastructure. If the experience is positive, then we
can discuss again your idea of having official intermediate releases of
master without file format changes, after 2.3 is released.
