That freeze also affected unstable for some reason. We were basically
not being able to release anything for weeks. If were going to revive
this corpse we should still be able to release to current.
Also, we should ask ourselves what's the most important thing for the
users? Is it really stability which we hardly can guarantee or is it
just a frozen state? Many sync our mirrors from time to time with no
interest in having the latest and greatest, most important to them is
that every machine gets the same version.
We're a small organization and to put all the work James did onto
someone else, even if shared by a few, is not time well spent in my
opinion. We should rethink this, not just start it up again. It died
for a reason.
