Granted. Speaking only for myself, I would have liked to see a model 
that left the stable branch as just that, but allowed for additional 
branches off stable (such as, say, rxk5, rxosd etc.) that would have allowed
a) interested sites to perform testing if they choose to and
b) the community to observe and guide the evolution of such development 
endeavors

That being said, there has never been any indication on your part that 
such an approach might be viable, so I guess it's the contributors' 
fault to let things drag along for too long, after all.

What I would like to reinforce, however, is that the large gap between 
stable and devel and devel's "testing only for all platforms except 
Windows" status has raised a certain barrier between bigger-scale 
contrib-projects and upstream development. I don't believe the blame for 
that can be put solely on the contributing parties.

No hard feelings
