We are talking about big changes now, ripping out infrastructure and
changing how drivers etc work. This is stuff that definitely should be
in a 0.5 branch. I hate to be the voice of reason but lets hold up on
applying loads of stuff to CVS for the moment and read on...

I'm using a patched 0.4.1 CVS version of LCDProc in a production system.
The changes being talked about here are making it difficult for me to
easily maintain my version. I'm sure others are in a similar situation.
Before anyone asks I've submitted the patchs to the list a couple of
times and fine tuned them as requested. I really want to update whats on
there with an official release.

Philip Pokorny is working on getting these patches and others into a
0.4.2 release at the moment. I think most of David's changes will be in
there, namely the snprintf things etc. which I want badly. 
I don't think it's a good idea to just dump all these patches into CVS
just yet David. Wait for feed back from Philip as to what he is working
on, you might make his job a little too difficult otherwise.

Perhaps we should then look at doing a branch when 0.4.2 is out there.
We'll use that release as the basis for 0.5 and rip it to pieces as we
see fit.

What do you guys think ???
