Does that also mean that Backfire is going to be retired? With no formal
10.03.2 forthcoming?
Is the plan that AA will be the new "stable branch" and the trunk gets a new
name after the release?
Have you thought about the future release strategy? Continuing the current
practice of "a major release every two years with some interim releases"? Or
Firefox/Chrome type of new releases more rapidly, e.g. every 6 months?
Based on Backfire's recent history, I believe that trying to maintain a
stable branch for too long periods (like over 2 years for Backfire) is going
to succeed, as the trunk will get too much ahead of the stable branch and as
the developers' attention tends to be on the bleeding-edge trunk, the stable
branch is almost dead in practice. I suggest Openwrt to rethink the release
strategy towards a bit more rapid "stable" releases.
