waaaait a minute. are you saying 0.7.x is an unstable / testing branch? 0.6.x is basically stable branch?
0.7.0 is a "master" branch release, but should be stable in theory.
perhaps 0.7.x has "crazy, new, untested features" and isn't broken in yet?
Of course it has new features. The only one I am particularly concerned about, though, is the time refactoring I did. It did get plenty of testing, but gmaxwell found some bugs in it last-minute that were not fixed in the final.
immediately, what comes to mind is odd-numbered branches of linux are "development / test" versions and not considered stable. (I'm remembering when I was on linux 2.4.x upgrading to 2.6.x years back)
Bitcoin does not use such a system.
more simply, my only ACTUAL question:
So uhm, is 0.6.x effectively "long term support" version?
Likely whatever version Debian ends up shipping will be "LTS". Other than that, it all depends on which backports people still need - hence the polls
Note that unless 0.6.0.x is still needed, I plan to discontinue it as soon as Eligius has upgraded to 0.7.0 - so if anyone needs that, speak up ASAP.
