I would prefer to have "free to commit" as a policy, because (as I stated
in an earlier mail) I don't have to rethink this patch in 3 different
versions of GStreamer at 3 different times. It would seem useful if we
allowed committing to stable until we close it for the next release. We
have enough people guarding the CVS lists that will notice commits that
are not allowed.
