Well I have about the same schedule as you Robert, but I am willing to throw my hat in the ring to help maintain HLFS-Stable. I have a big interest in seeing that we can work out a hardened system capable of being used for stable server environments. I think that starting another branch

It's active, but I seem to be the only maintainer and I work 55 hours per week. There are several things I'd like to complete before a stable release... stuff like fixing most of the compiler warnings, finding how to get all the testsuites to pass, auditing the patches. The combination of gcc4
