I didn't explain myself clearly enough. Sorry. I am all for not
discontinuing branches as soon as a new one comes out. Two years is a
long time in the computer industry and I don't think that a freeze of
the software is unreasonable.
Are there any new features added to Exim3 now a days? Or is the branch
just a security updates for now? Maybe when exim5 comes out, exim3 can
be relegated to the cold dark corners of the museum and join such fun
releases as 2 and 1! *grin*
