Nino,

Right on target; I could not have said it better. As for the release pace there is a theory that 
suggests that slowing it to a rearly rythmn would decrease the intetest of developers. But that is 
obviously a theory, and cannot be an exact science.

Best,

Charles.

So again the question has apparently gone back to "What is the
advantage of
the "Still" branch.  Why would people choose it or what circumstances
would
suit "Still" better than "Fresh"?"

The main advantage is its age: it's more mature; it has been in use for
a
longer time; people know it better; more questions have been answered
in all
the support forums etc.

You see, the main problem is not having two branches, it's having two
branches which do not differ too much - just half a year. Therefore,
both
are rather "fresh", there is no "really mature" version, at least not
in the
public.

So the thing to really complain about is the lack of a really mature
(2-3-4
years or more) version! Therefore, all the bug fixing etc does not
really
improve the stability of the software as branches end their lifetime
too
soon after receiving their last bugfix update.

I'm not sure what the effects would be if there was a Long Time Support
version. Maybe, everybody would switch to this LTS verison and bug
reporting
would decrease dramatically. But maybe also, that peoples'
satisfachtion
would grow considerably and therefore also commitment and loyalty. Who
knows?

In a first step I'd very much like the community to decrease the
release
frequeny to once a year instead of every 6 months.

Nino
