I agree, but I think you forget: Users don't want development, they
want it to work. Now. In order to be adopted by Users, GNUstep needs
to have a stable API and infrequent (every 6+ months?) jumbo
releases. The stable API is so that developers need not know a damn
thing about GNUstep (the environment) in order to code for GNUstep/
OpenStep (the API).

Problem with jumbo releases is that they contain bugs thats hard to
debug. frequent releases with smaller changes are easier to debug. And
less likely to contain features that the users dont need.

I dont think a rapidly changing api would be an issue too. We are open
source and anybody can get the source anytime. And the problem with
compilation from source is already being addressed.
