I believe -pre's are still important. Daily snapshots are too likely to be broken, and "real" releases are different from -pre ones (with *usefull* difference): you can ignore -pre release, but you can't ignore real release (because real releases are relative to each other).
Having slightly more frequent real releases would be nice, but I believe it is not feasible to make them as common as pre- patches. Pavel -- Philips Velo 1: 1"x4"x8", 300gram, 60, 12MB, 40bogomips, linux, mutt, details at http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pavel/velo/index.html.
