[Zope-Coders] Re: Bug day and CVS

[Chris McDonough]

It might be reasonable to have a branch, but I'd almost rather see us
make fixes on the release branch as chances are the bugs created by the
bug fixes get spotted faster.  Unless we only fix bugs on the HEAD,
which doesn't seem to make sense.  I don't anybody minds a few tests
failing for a few days... as long as there are tests.  The BASE tag is
just something that historically gets broken when people try to fix one
aspect of its behavior, but luckily there are tests to spot it.
