[Bioperl-l] Proposed route to 1.2

[Hilmar Lapp]

Hmm. I perfectly understand the need for a feature freeze, but 
according to this plan it could be as long as 6-7 weeks. I may be in 
the situation here to need implement a certain new feature during 
that time, as may be Elia or others. If that happens, should we open 
a branch then the additions on which are later re-merged into the 
HEAD once 1.2 is branched off, or should 1.2 be branched off at the 
time of feature freeze or shortly thereafter?

Both have their up- and downsides, so I don't have a strong 
preference. Maybe there's a third option too that I'm not aware of.

You make the call what the rule is going to be ...
