That would look like:
GDB is on a ~6 month (26 week) release cycle.
CURRENT NEXT
Warning: Sun Sep 15 (2002-09-15-gmt) Sun Mar 16 (2003-03-16-gmt)
Branch: Sun Sep 29 (2002-09-29-gmt) Sun Mar 30 (2003-03-30-gmt)
Release: Sun Nov 3 (2002-11-03-gmt) Sun May 4 (2003-05-04-gmt)
reSpin: Sun Dec 8 (2002-12-08-gmt) Sun Jun 8 (2003-06-08-gmt)
if the releases are too infrequent, the process of removing old code
gets slowed down a little (but I guess I can live with that).
Anyone else?
