Has someone asked Tiny already to let the community commit their fixes 
into the so called  "stable" which is actually un-stable?
Just to legitimate that we have no other choice then to branch to a new 
community bugfix-release.
I'm a little bit worried about the consequences it could have, like that 
we could slowly walk away from the "stable" branch and couldn't merge 
back again. Referring to the problem Tiny itself had 3 months ago to 
merge the stable back into trunk.

Regards,
Jan verlaan
