It may be a bit of a pain to some, but it has worked through at least three release cycles. The proposed change does not affect the user in any case. Yes it does: if a customer has sponsored a feature with DB changes, applying the patch to this customer before it's included in official version is a nightmare. And it appends more than once a year for BibLibre.
IMHO customers who want features before master inclusion is really a vendor issue, not a community issue. Yes, we want to make changes that will make life easier on vendors (and therefore their customers), *but* not at the expense of rushing and possibly introducing a potentially buggy, not-throughly-tested "enhancement." Don't interpret this as "anti-vendor," rather as "pro-stability." ;-) Kind Regards, Chris
