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. I won't tell him to use cvs because it's 
broken every other day...

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).

Have a nice weekend,
