In GCC how do they keep track of what is experimental vs. in the main
branch?
Also, at project approval time is it worth tagging items that are pre-
blessed as work that will, or will most likely, go back into the main
tree (example: JSRs, encumbered replacements)? If so who gets to set
the tag or branch location?
Or should all new projects be treated the same and start off in an
incubator branch?
I know, these are really questions for the Governance board to work
out for the constitution. Is this alias a reasonable place for these
issues to come up for the IGB to take back for discussion?
thanks,
jeff
