><i> I do not know if it is possible, but I think that the way the Eclipse
</I>><i> foundation is running the Eclipse project is worth mentioning:
</I>><i> - they have milestone target every 6 weeks, aimed at power users (stable
</I>><i> enough to run on their own, but might break compatibility with existing
</I>><i> plugins).
</I>><i> For a linux distribution, it would mean main elements ok, for contrib
</I>><i> packages dependencies might be broken.
</I>><i> - then they have a RC cycle in the last two months to produce the final
</I>><i> release. Only major problems are fixed there, no new features.
</I>><i> - Service releases are produced 3 months and 8 months after release, to
</I>><i> integrate major bug fixes => this could be some xxxx.1 and xxxx.2
</I>><i> releases after the main xxxx release.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> The main reason of the milestone is that Eclipse committers are more or
</I>><i> less supposed to run the latest millestone: have your cake and eat it
</I>><i> too. Any problem in the milestone should that way be met by those
</I>><i> developers and quickly reported for a fix in the next milestone.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Here the idea is that Mageia supporters willing to help making it better
</I>><i> should be able to run the latest milestone without must risks
</I>><i> (basic functionality working).
</I>><i>
</I>><i> All the details about Eclipse release process is available on:
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://www.eclipse.org/projects/dev_process/development_process_2010.php">http://www.eclipse.org/projects/dev_process/development_process_2010.php</A>

I find this method interesting as the risk of breaking your system is
minimized and you could conceivably re-install any broken/offending
software. I think if Mageia adopted such a method it could attract more
users who are interesting in helping in "bug finding". More bug finding
-> more of a rock solid distro. We could then have a larger pool of testers.
