Here's a transcript from using the hpd today (please note kernel

which is the most straight forward of debugging sessions; and a major
milestone. In the meeting, this brought forward two proposals:
a) move frysk forward to 0.8.x, from 0.0.x
This is to signal that we consider all our tools are minimally at alpha
(key functionality is present but more to come); and for many tools they
are actually beta/release quality (e.g., fstack, fcore, fcatch). As
fhpd and frysk mature we can move to 0.9 and 1.0.
b) move to regular (monthly?) patch-level releases; e.g., 0.8.1, 0.8.2, ...
Since we've now reached a good code baseline we're able to, over shorter
periods, show significant fixes and improvements. Making slightly more
formal regular releases would provide us with a way to highlight this;
and highlight the work completed over each of those periods.
