As a long time Slime fan, I am wondering if it would be possible to get the slime developers to start making releases? Right now the operating model seems to be to grab the head of CVS and go with that, but I'm never sure if such grabbing will create problems for me. Even more, slime is now a component of McCLIM and (I think) other software packages that I've been using. It would be nice if people could say, "McCLIM requires Slime 4.7".
I have to admit that in my old age I'm becoming less and less of a hacker and more and more of a user.... :-) or maybe :-(
