So, should everyone distrust the claim that there are no memory leaks in 2.8.20 ?
That is, it is fixed in current 2.10 because nobody wants to fix it in 2.8.20 or
because there is no such leak in 2.8.20 ?
If there are no leaks in 2.8.20, then my suggestion is correct - it's too early to declare
2.10.* to be leak-free.
If the leak is also present in 2.8.20, then the leak-free statement is at all wrong.
However much I am a coder I want common sense to be present - if you guys claim there
are no leaks, there should be no leaks for at least a year.
Where is the confusion in the proposed clarifications ?
1) does 2.8.20 have memory leaks ?
2) does 2.10.* have no reported memory leaks for a year or so ?
