[opensource-dev] Third party viewer policy: commencement date

[Morgaine]

At any given point in time, one viewer is more stable than another, and at
another point in time, it's the other way around.  This is perfectly normal,
and blanket statements about superior stability make no sense ... especially
when they share common code! :-)

If anything, Snowglobe could well be more stable over time, since any bugs
probably won't last long because they tend to get patched rapidly and a new
tagged version released.  In contrast the official LL viewer gets released
infrequently.

One shouldn't read too much into PR or advocacy statements anyway.


Morgaine.
