[Seaside] So where is the "release" version of 3.7?

[Boris Popov]

Ouch, I thought this was a constructive conversation to discuss the
options, no one has to do anything and we can leave the things the way
they are. The point brought up earlier had to do with trying to make it
easier for an ever increasing community to understand various versions
being published on a regular basis (good thing!) and there isn't much I
can personally do to help you figure it out outside of writing mails for
many reasons, including the fact that I don't directly commit any
changes to the stream, I have no Squeak experience or free time (as much
as I'd have liked to do all of the above). Feel free to ignore the
suggestions, that's all they are after all, but unless I'm misreading
you it seems they are not welcomed at the moment.

Cheers!

-Boris
