I'm getting a sick feeling to my stomach here. Maybe I'm just misunderstanding things?
You're rejecting a perfectly fine patch to Wine, because it's the wrong season of the year to send good patches?
No, just deferring it.
What was wrong with doing what everyone else does -
- create a branch for the up-and-coming release,
- keep applying good patches to trunk,
- cherry pick *very* important patches (clean bugfixes) and merge
them to the branch?
Go look at what the Linux Kernel and the gcc projects *actually* do. Both projects actually do have this kind of code "slush" periodically. Active development continues during the slush periods, but the resulting patches just sit in the developers' trees until after the slush is over.
It's ok, really. - Dan
