 UNTESTED 1.5.x


s/UNTESTED/CURRENT/. Just because it is the _current_ code doesn't
I vote for this (see also prev. schema).
But with the difference like:
s/UNTESTED/COULDWORK/
or even
s/UNTESTED/COULDBUILD/
Just because for newbies CURRENT often mean more like
the-most-featured-and-cool-just-baked-yummi-cookie with "It's *BSD! It
Must Work!" attitude :)
make it "untested". I agree with the other names though.
Maybe even PRODUCTION --> BUGFIXES.
No, Production is production. It's safe to put to real server. While
bugfix is just a set of patches. Not a state of product.
I don't want to name the tags something like "alpha", because that
has some horrible prejustice applied to it, thanks to big software
companies.
Yep!
