Re: GNOME 2.30: go stable or go cutting edge?

[Joseph Scheuhammer <clown utoronto ca>]

I tend to be conservative:  if users want/need/expect stability (and 
what user doesn't expect that?), then it would be unacceptable if they 
ended up with an inconsistent, buggy, crashy, experience.

But, I am out of my depth, so let me ask questions.  Has GNOME has been 
in this position before?  What was decided then?  What was the outcome?
