For many projects, things become unstable after a major release. This is
the time to experiment. Right before a major release, everything needs
to settle down, with a focus on bugfixes and stability.

That said, I know the "logic" of the make targets now, so I really don't
care any more what they are named. I just meant to keep others from
being confused. So I guess I'll go with the existing naming and fit
quick-install-html right in. Will go into a new thread tomorrow or so.

Junio,
I think you handled that in the best possible way, and I felt
sympathetic with you when that thread with a RFC went OT back to
discussing things over again.

Cheers,
Michael
