As I said, it's not specifically developers that I'm blaming here. It seems to be a system-wide thing.
From my point of view, the holdup _should_ be to not kill the goose that laid the golden egg (wide open editing) - lets be very very careful with what gets tinkered with.
If stable versions turns out to be a disaster for some reason it should
be perfectly straightforward to just turn it off again.
from User:Jimbo Wales/Statement of principles: Any changes to the software must be gradual and reversible. Great minds think alike :)
There is abundant consensus to implement 'stable versions', but not much of a definition of what exactly a 'stable version' is. I think there is a real operatunity here for the leadership to run a few trials and try a few things. Hell, here is the perfect opperatunity to go begging on our hands and knees to User:Worldtraveller to return to the project for some consulting.
