when it's time to worry about releasing Nevada, then the onnv-gate (or

on-gate.
Why should we hide our internal forking & gate shifting from the outside?
Because it's an artifact of Sun's distribution that's not necessarily
related to the work of any other distribution.
In other words, all distributions need to be free to decide when
they're cutting a release. Some may want to do it more often than the
once-every-5-years-or-so that we do it. Some might even want fewer
releases. It's plausible that some might want "no releases" at all
and instead favor a stream of versioned packages.
In any event, the point where we decide to fork is our problem, not
other people's problem.
But how can we possibly have a common ARC if we all have different
releases? Do we just throw all the ARC distinctions about what you
can do in major, minor, micro out the window?
