The documentation provides a very detailed explantion for new users, perhaps what's lacking is 'what's changed' guide for 'long term' contrib users?
good idea. if anyone wants to find the right spot in the handbook for this and draft an initial version, i'd be happy to edit it for correctness... and yeah, i wrote the docs assuming people didn't know much. i figured the "old hands" could read the docs, see how it was (or wasn't) different from what they usually do, and decide for themselves. but, i can see why that wasn't necessarily the best assumption on my part. luckily, online docs can be easily changed after the fact... it's not like i published a physical book about the new release system or anything. ;)
Apologies for such a terrible welcome back.
it could have been (much) worse. ;)
I'm also looking forward to your thoughts on: http://drupal.org/node/116131 and whether it's feasible, as you work through the backlog.
given enough work, just about anything is "feasible". after a very quick skim, i'm not convinced it's such a good idea, or the best thing to spend time on, but i'll read more closely and reply there. -derek
