I agree with Jifl that we need a way to readily distinguish official
releases from CVS checkouts. Official releases cater for a different
class of user who cares more about stability than about the very latest
features. Of course, we need to do what we can to ensure that the next
official release lives up to such expectations. I would support
retaining the "v2_x" style of version directories for future releases.
Users always have the option of checking out a specific version of eCos
from CVS using a release tag if they prefer a stable repository that can
be updated in the future.
