We need a mechanism to make it easier for distributing patches to the
existing
release. I would like to create a patch for the NSStepperCell fix so
that
users can download it from someplace without confusion. It was
suggested that
the patch manager on savannah should be used for this, but that system
is used
only for patches from contributors for consideration by maintainers.
This is
a patch from a maintainer (me) which needs to be applied under certain
circumstances.
By Critical Patch, I mean any bug which can be called a "show
stopper". We
shouldn't do this for every trifling little bug. :)
