I strongly agree with MJ. I currently aid a friend in setting up GNUstep. Half the apps (releases) don't compile because he is using the last stable release of GNUstep.

It's a bit daft having apps that won't work on the latest "stable" release of GNUstep, because they're useless to normal users, but equally, does it mean that we are having "stable" releases of GNUstep too seldom? I think this "you must use CVS version" is one of the biggest problem with GNUstep today that stops it getting the popularity it should. MJR
One prime example was the big change in the directory layout (which was a good thing(tm)). When such big changes happen, maybe there should be a release two weeks afterwards (giving app developers enough time to update their applications).
