Papercuts don't fit that!<br>

Moreover; I think the point is figuring out how to make every
release more stable than the previous, while providing basic
functionality to old ones. So we can get to a point where every
published version is stable.<br>
<br>
This cannot be done by fire fighting defects in previous editions or
by using software deeply tested every two years. But rather on
making short iterations through processes, observing how value flows
through them, and <span id="result_box" class="short_text"

so the quality management process can rapidly auto-heal any
software defect.<br>
<br>
Long term stable Linux releases are fantasies. What really
happens is these are benefiting from the stabilisation work done
by other less stable distributions, or they would never exist.<br>
