True enough. But to clarify, we're not talking about those people; we're talking about *developers* updating xen-unstable bits on an otherwise completely stable base distro. And we're talking about xen-users installing xen-unstable on their systems to see if it fixes a bug or adds an important feature they are waiting for. "Oops, networking is broke, I guess I'd better roll back"... which means fewer people testing and giving feedback on xen-unstable. > As I say we'll make a song and dance about this in the 4.1 release > notes, announcements, etc. Another related substantial change will be > the switch away from xend in the default configuration, and it makes > sense to make both of these changes at the same time. Historically in Xen, "song and dance" has been more like "hum a bar offkey and quickly twirl around" :-) I hope this change at this release is a bit more. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
