Hi Richard,
opening a new thread. Let's not derail the existing one before anything

To get back to work. To create something sustainable. As you and many
others suggest, I also would like to have a branch that can be kept
in a releasable state. First, we need a branch that is in a releasable
state.
You may have missed the decisions around the 1.3.x branch. The idea
seems to be to clean things up on that release branch and for the time
being do nothing about the open issues on the master branch. To me
that's yet another sign that the current master branch is at a dead end.
I think I will advise Patrick to create a separate "flashrom-stable" repository that will start out as a copy of the flashrom repository. In this repository you will be able to reboot to flashrom 1.2 and decide what constitutes stability metrics, pace and direction as you see fit.
