[Tim Bell <Tim.Bell@xxxxxxx>]

We need more than 'just' packaging.... it is using the testing, documentation and above all care to produce *and* maintain a stable release that production sites can rely on for 6-12 months and know that others are relying on it too.

Who is going to make the judgement that a bug fix to the latest Essex development branch is a valid patch for a backport to stable/diablo and does not break production sites ?

Diablo 2011.3 brought much functionality but also some useful points to consider for the future as to how we organise the project.
