Re: squid-2.4stable2 ?

Agreed, if for no other reason than to save me from having to argue with
folks that the daily snap of 2.4 is actually /more stable/ than the
STABLE release.

It would save packagers trouble as well, since most OS packagers prefer
to start from a STABLE and then patch it with known bug fixes (it
doesn't bother me to build from a daily, but for many folks it
does--goes against policy, gives the impression of instability, or
whatever). Many little twiddly bits never become patches in the Squid
bug list...but they do go into the tree.
