I'm afraid not, at least not without a volunteer stepping up to take
care of the additional releases.


I'm currently working towards the next release around the end of this
month. I'm planning to change the versioning scheme to be year based,
i.e. the next release will be 18.0, then 18.1, then probably 19.0 etc.
Same for xf86-video-ati. Any concerns or comments?
