I'm a big fan of this software, and will continue to use it, but I'd like to request a plan for more stable development trees at some point. Having all new development happening in the same branch is a little disconcerting sometiems, and scary for those of us that value a production-ready system more than a a new feature here or there.
It seems strange to me to see severel RC releases in a row, each of which adds major features, changes in update scripts, etc. The whole point of a "release candidate" is typically to state that everything appears stable, and if no major bugs are found in the RC release, that release may be re-released as the stable next version.
Anyway, thanks for the rapid development. I know multiple branches can be a big pain and it is asking a lot. In the absence of that, a more stable RC->production release schedule might calm my nerves a little. ;) As it is, I'm not sure I see the difference between a development release, a release candidate, and a stable release, as they all introduce the same number of new features, and all typically look the same from a stability/bug point of view...
