I agree that the backlog of outstanding patches should be reduced - but
how was that handled in previous releases of xmonad? It seems to me,
that right before a release is the last time where you would want to
apply a considerable number of little-tested patches, isn't it?

Isn't the idea to let development happen over a certain amount of time,
then wait a little, let things settle and get the assurance that a fair
number of users are running xmonad-darcs without problems before
releasing it as a new stable version?

Well, of course for those patches that are strictly bugfixes with
limited scope it would be nice if they could be included in the release.

Regards!
