[zeromq-dev] ZeroMQ 4.2 release, planning

[Luca Boccassi]

It's also useful for distributions, as it gives a clear cut on when ABI
is broken and bumped, which shouldn't happen often. Remember every ABI
incompatible change in a library is days or weeks worth of work for
Linux distros.

Also many enterprise users want a stable, released version that they can
control and use without any changes, backward-compatible or not.

Of course then there are many who are happy to use the latest head of
the git tree, and that's great as well.

Different uses for different users, but we are in a good spot as we can
easily support both.
