Re: XSLT-process minor mode added to xemacs-packages

Individual packages can have their own unstable branches, but this should be under control of the package maintainer. Furthermore, in Ovidiu's case, he would have to _depend_ on the _unstable_ branch of JDE. Yuck!

Again, this is all upstream policy in principle. Not all maintainers do development on the cvs.xemacs.org sources; some simply check that in as a vendor branch from a primary located elsewhere. I agree that committer education will be hard, because we're going to have to teach them to Do The Right Thing without knowing what it is ourselves.
